> Not a lot of people I know would open themselves up to the kind of harassment and character assassination that Julie has for no reason. [...] What would she have gained by lying? Some people really like attention. I've known people who'll lie about things like that just for the sake of being in the public eye. Alternately, she might have not expected the harassment, and thought of it as extra fodder for getting GitHub to compensate her for the stuff that their investigation says definitely happened. To be clear: I'm not saying either of these is the case for Horvath. Just that the hypothetical "she was knowingly lying" case could be explained by these motivations. |

Really? Like what? Can you give an example relevant to this discussion?
> Alternately, she might have not expected the harassment
Lol, I don't think it's possible to be a woman on the internet as much as she is and think something like that. This statement is ignorant of the reality of literally every woman on the internet who criticizes a predominantly male community.
> To be clear: I'm not saying either of these is the case for Horvath. Just that the hypothetical "she was knowingly lying"
Sure, I just think those hypothetical explanations are weak considering the arguments I put forward. I think Julie would have to be really dense not to know that coming forward the way she did would have consequences.
