False equivalency.

Disappoint in does not equal hatred.

Let's at least try to keep the testerics down.

If there's any anger here, it's at myself because I didn't vet him. I took him at his word, blind trust, gave him a chance based on how he presented himself and I gave him reach and amplification he wouldn't otherwise have had; at least not as quickly. To be clear, I'm not taking credit for his entire reach, but he definitely got a foothold to the audience is through me. He would have stayed in obscurity a lot longer like a lot of much better and thoughtful writers had I vetted him properly.

At this point in my life, I fucking know better. I fucked up.

So yeah, I'm kicking my own ass about it and trying to clean up my mess as best I can.

But there's no doubt I brought this drivel to the doors of those I wanted to protect from this sort of shit on the platform. They get enough vitriol from disingenuous loser men and pickmeisha.

I don't have many feelings one way or the other about Simon other than disappointment and that he seems to be somewhat elitist and obtuse in that way. He's just a guy. There are lots more around the world just like him. Big whoop.
