Well put.
It wasn't anything that she reported that was false, it was how she went about it.
Still crickets on her feed. She deleted and kept it moving.
A teenager not wanting to be kissed on the head by an old person isn't some unique event, particularly when it's in front of cameras. And I think it's also fair to say that it's not uncommon for old people to be touchy feely with kids. I'm not saying something nefarious couldn't be going on, but people pass around these gifs as if their some brilliant video evidence. I mean that particular clip is of Biden with Chris Coons daughter. The families are close, and her father is standing right next to them in the shot. Coons himself addressed the particular photo itself last year:
You can dispense with the underplayed modwhining. Had you made a sensitively-worded post to the effect that you were dubious about the blog source for this story, there's no possibility you would have been banned. Several posts of exactly that nature were made in that thread. None of them were actioned.
That's not really true. Some will come down on you just for that. There's not really a uniform reaction to things like that across this forum.
Point me to a post in that thread of this nature that was actioned? Is it too much to ask that people take a moment to suss out the difference between saying an assumed victim is probably lying, and saying that the source peddling the story is of a questionable nature?
What I'll tell you is that posting in topics like this makes me nervous because I don't know what would be considered actionable. To even mention inconsistencies on that front is considered modwhining and could resort in action against the person.
For those sharing the Joe Biden creepy gifs, Is it not possible that Joe is an extremely touchy person, sometimes
uncomfortably so to a problematic degree but also at the same time not be a rapist or a sexual predator?
I mean, he is the same way with women, men, boys and girls. There are lots and lots of photos.
I am not saying that his touching is OK, especially for those who it made uncomfortable, but to me there is a big leap of logic from "Joe is too handsy and needs to respect people's personal space" to "Joe is a sexual predator and pedophile and these photos prove it!"

A "single innocent" person's life has already been ruined, in a countless number of cases. You know who it is? Hint: that person people always seem to forget about. The victim.
There's been bad faith arguing on both sides. However, irrespective of political convictions or agendas, there's one thing the bad faith arguers tend to all have in common: expending precious few, if any, remarks on what the victim might be going through, while filling up page after page with debates about the political ramifications for the (male) accused. You shall know the tree by his fruit.
