Dauna Bartley declares that Chris did not engage in any inappropriate behavior towards Kelly and that Karissa wanted to get back at him because of his break-up with her friend.

I'm assuming you haven't even looked at the witness statements from people in the same friend group that were all in his favor:

No, he's not a turd. Don't believe every bit of disproven slander.

You should also listen to the witness statements from the same friend group, like this one, also from a woman:

No, it's pretty obvious the person who added multiplayer to Morrowind is an entirely different person from Chris.

People who realize the accusations were retracted and the witness statements were in his favor are working with him. That's more than just "cis white men".

He was slandered and doesn't deserve an awful reputation.

He was accused by friends of his former girlfriend who were still upset about his breakup with her.

They have since retracted the accusations:

That weeder acts like he smokes too much pot. Completely unrealistic and out of character.

Certain Americans will tell you that Rome fell because of too many illegal immigrants crossing the border.

With the vision doc, he was selling a very strange game to the marketing department, the division director and the company CEO, so he had to dumb it down. They signed off on the project, then the actual game had a different tone than that.

The witnesses said he didn't do anything wrong at the cons.

You're relying on generalizations, but every case has its own unique set of circumstances, and sometimes the evidence really is preponderant in one direction or another.

You also have to consider what would happen if someone libeled you someday. Do you really want to have no real defense to that?

Perhaps they have a philosophical problem with the continued propagation of disproven slander.

I said the witness statements were in his favor, which is actually a different concept.

Dauna Bartley, from the same friend group as Chris' accusers, says that nothing happened to Kelly Bristol and that Karissa had a grudge against Chris because of his break-up with Karissa's other friend.

The SA allegations ring different in light of the witness statements that were all in Chris' favor:

I don't think you know what astroturfing means. When one guy occasionally corrects misconceptions on a particular topic out of his own volition, that's not astroturfing.

She's not a "survivor" because nothing actually happened and nothing could have happened.

If she had a story to tell, she shouldn't have made it so half of it was half-truths and the other half was outright lies.

You seem stuck on the deep end of the "believe all women no matter what" zealotry.

If you commune with your ancestors in the spirit cave, you can show it to them and be like "bet you didn't have one of these, chumps".

What if you're the one manifesting their ability to manifest because you've decided other people must be as real as you are?

You should try solipsism instead, see how that goes.

Watch out, they're going to come here and say something like:

"Motherf--er? Why didn't you include fatherf--ers too? Do you have something against us or something? Your dad thought I was great."

2) The women's attorney can't be on the hook in the future for returning the fees that were paid to him if the women break the settlement given that he's not even representing them anymore.

28.08.2025 23:21 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

They can't mention the "return of the attorney fee award" unless it already happened, because:

1) If the women's attorney kept the fees, but the women have to pay them back to Chris under some conditions, that's not a "return".
