Nick Farr's 30c3 Jake Appelbaum story of abuse and harassment
Meredith and Andrea were, according to too many people yesterday: untrustworthy and biased.  Many comments here urged everyone to suspend judgement, not rush to conclusions and not take allegations overly seriously.  (Not always a bad idea, but apparently much less important today.)<p>Now that Nick has written his story however, it goes back on the front page of HN and the comments here basically support it as totally credible.  (Which of course, Nick is pretty solid, so it likely is.  Just as Meredith, Andrea and many others are solid and credible.)<p>Don't get me wrong, I very very much think that Nick should write up his story and feelings.  But I think a lot of people need to examine themselves closely for why they couldn't believe the women who shared their stories yesterday, but now can today.<p>This is why women come forward less often.  People have a shocking tendency not to believe them, no matter how credible or well known they are.<p>Please learn from this.
