Do you remember Friday morning?

We should hope so. It was only three days ago. How much have you been drinking?

Suppose you do indeed remember, and you read our newsletter. In that case, you might recall us biting our collective tongues in a story about Maniac, who had been accused of sexual assault by multiple women.

Maniac, at that time, denied all allegations — but subsequently, the pressure grew to a point where he could no longer deny them, and took the French way out. He ran away — at least at first.

Originally he deactivated his account, but upon seeing that nobody had posted his statement (that one’s probably on you, bud), he reactivated it to post a pathetic, squirming half-apology that blamed alcohol and a bad childhood, largely.

Nobody cares. Please find the exit.

We tried to be fair a few days ago and not take a side, but if you’re admitting you did it after originally saying it was impossible and that you weren’t even there? We cannot, in good faith, even pretend to give you the benefit of the doubt.

We still don’t care for this part of the job, but not as much as we dislike people like this.

Maybe we’re being a bit too harsh. At least he stood up and admitted, he apologised, and he said he’d come back better.

If he’d done that immediately, maybe we’d have a shred of respect left — but he denied it outright initially and tried to sweep it under the rug. That is unforgivable.

The scene has plenty of other talent. Make space, and don’t come back.
