I love TB and I'm sorry he's being harassed but I'm surprised that he seems surprised, if that makes sense.
These people are ideologues and totalitarians. To them there can be no middle ground. You can't be neutral or unbiased. You are either with them or against them- they can tolerate an independent games journalist as well at the Soviet Communist party or ISIS could have tolerated an independent political blogger.
TB also seems indignant that the 'allegations' against him are factually untrue and that he's being harassed. Again, to these fanatics, when an allegation is made (and they are made often) it is by definition true. The only possible defense is an admission to full culpability and utter contrition or to take umbrage with a counter-accusation based on your level in the 'progressive stack'.
Facts do not matter when compared to the greater truth. Likewise with harassment when YOU get it its not wrong - its the minimum you deserve for your racism and misogyny. You are the enemy and aggressor by definition and they are the oppressed and victimized regardless of the content of any messages or actions taken.
You cannot appease them. You cannot placate them. You cannot convince them.
