| schestowitz | Care to share sources corroborating any of this? | Jan 06 05:07 |
| schestowitz | All I can find is anonymous stuff on a website called http://techrights.org/ which has a series of articles trying to in some way associate Nat with Gravely's domestic violence. | Jan 06 05:07 |
| schestowitz | The "best friend" claim seems to have started with a weird "teaser" post on techrights.org wherein an anonymous source claims that "many others" can confirm that Gravely was close to Nat. That of course doesn't even come close to establishing that either of them considers the other their "best friend", if it's trustworthy to begin with. | Jan 06 05:07 |
| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-techrights.org | Welcome to Techrights | Jan 06 05:07 | |
| schestowitz | Then techrights.org cites their own teaser in other posts as saying that Gravely claims Nat is his best friend (not true, or at least not supported by the source). | Jan 06 05:07 |
| schestowitz | Now you are, I guess, using that as your basis to claim that they ARE in fact best friends. | Jan 06 05:07 |
| schestowitz | I realise it's possible you're entirely honest and have sources I don't, but this looks like a pretty cynical smear job to me, especially given that none of the sources I've managed to find asserting that the two were close date from before this domestic abuse case. I don't have any insider knowledge, but the superficial appearance of all this is that a handful of activists with something against Nat have cooked up this "best friend" narrative for | Jan 06 05:07 |
| schestowitz | some reason, gradually escalating the claim each time they cite each other, and ultimately it all hinges on an anonymous source saying that other anonymous sources say that the two were close once. | Jan 06 05:07 |

| schestowitz | Nat and Alex were always exceptionally close, which I always found confusing. Alex was intense, passionate, charismatic, but also had troubled and troubling relationships with people, _particularly_ women.

| schestowitz | Playing devils advocate for one moment: I don’t always agree with friends abandoning other friends when they turn out to be bad people. If a person stands any chance of rehabilitation they need people who are willing to stand by them. This doesn’t mean those friends support their actions - in fact they should be honest about what actions are inexcusable. But as a society we are too quick to claim guilt by association without understanding what | Jan 06 05:08 |
| schestowitz | their relationship is like and whether that friendship is helping to reform individuals who have been (understandably) abandoned by everyone else around them. | Jan 06 05:08 |

| schestowitz | > Nat hasn't made any attempts to get Alex rehabilitation for this issue. | Jan 06 05:08 |
| schestowitz | You might be right and remember my post wasn’t commenting on Nat and Alex specifically. However, and mean this with the greatest of respect to yourself, even though you’ve been involved with Alex you still don’t truly know how Alex and Nat communicate in private between just the two of them. | Jan 06 05:08 |
| schestowitz | The reason I commented is because I’ve recently seen this same kind of mob mentality happen against some genuinely nice people who have kept their association because they were sincerely trying to rehabilitate others. So they didn’t deserve guilt by association. But their cases were different to these ones. | Jan 06 05:08 |
| schestowitz | Anyhow I’m not here to defend Nat nor Alex (I don’t even know them) and this is a understandably going to be a highly emotionally charged subject so I’ll refrain from further comments because sometimes my well intentioned remarks can come across poor (totally my issue. I’m working on fixing it). | Jan 06 05:08 |
| schestowitz | I do truly wish you happiness in any future relationships and hope this nightmare you’ve been through doesn’t leave any scares (emotional or physical) that cannot heal. | Jan 06 05:08 |

| schestowitz | Ok, sure, but part of rehabilitation is making amends to victims. No amends have been made beyond an "apology" in which he reiterated he thought that I deserved abuse because he has more money and power than me. | Jan 06 05:08 |

| schestowitz | In fairness, they do need procedures to accommodate such people. Your other employment-related rights don't end just because you've done bad stuff, and you need to treat perpetrators of domestic violence differently to ordinary employees (e.g. being really suspicious of them). | Jan 06 05:09 |

| schestowitz | To be clear I’m not defending Alex in any way. I think it’s quite clear he should lose his job and probably be in jail, depending on the outcome of the evidence collection and eventual trial, of course. | Jan 06 05:11 |
| schestowitz | I was saying the blanket statement than the mere presence of any allegations of any form are enough to indicate a high probability of guilt, and we should therefore enforce punishment on an individual is dangerous.

This statute requires prosecutors to prove intent on behalf of Microsoft; it also requires active concealment, intentional aid in avoiding arrest, or warning (or "harboring", which would require Microsoft to actually provide physical shelter and concealment).

| schestowitz | Liz's boss, Charity Majors, has been friends with Alex and Nat since she was 17 and Alex was 15 through their "Hungry Programmers" organization. | Jan 06 05:16 |
| schestowitz | Liz works with another friend of their staff engineers Chris Toshok, who interestingly enough was dating Charity when she was underage and he is 9 years her senior. | Jan 06 05:17 |
| schestowitz | Charity and Chris are connected to a credit card hacker Max Visions, which is documented in the non-fiction book Kingpin by Kevin Poulsen https://www.kingpin.cc/about/ | Jan 06 05:17 |
| schestowitz | Charity told me to keep quiet about Alex and Nat or bad things would happen to me and lied to me by saying she doesn't know Alex when she clearly does. | Jan 06 05:17 |

| schestowitz | Normally I think this kind of speculation is dangerous, but there is actual data to back you up[1]. | Jan 06 05:17 |
| schestowitz | Strangulation is a singularly accurate predictor of future homicide. There seems to be a world of difference between just hitting someone and actually trying to crush their throat with your bare hands. It should be taken far, far more seriously than it is -- attempted murder at least. | Jan 06 05:17 |

| schestowitz | Allegedly strangling girlfriend. | Jan 06 05:19 |
| schestowitz | The document mentions no evidence of anything, let alone wounds, and even Techrights, everyone's favorite anti-GitHub conspiracy blog, hasn't posted any document mentioning any evidence, despite basically salivating over this story. It's all just anecdotes from officers saying she was claiming she was hurt. | Jan 06 05:19 |
| schestowitz | This may seem like I'm being pedantic, but I've seen fake DV calls before (unfortunately, more than once, though none directed at me), and officers are generally sympathetic to whoever is the most charismatic.

| schestowitz | Microsoft is committed to working with employees who are victims of domestic violence to prevent abuse from occurring in the workplace.

The Microsoft Global Security group can provide guidelines and suggestions for increasing your safety in the workplace. | Jan 06 05:20 |
| schestowitz | Employees who are experiencing domestic violence outside of work are encouraged to seek assistance from Microsoft Cares.
