I wrote the following on in that thread on KIA Reddit in response to some confusion about my intentions:
I want to clear up a few things.
First, no, I'm NOT a white knight. I've been critical of Brianna Wu for some time, but I've tried to be respectful about it whenever debating with anyone who might be opposed to me because I see no reason whatsoever to be a douche about it.
Second, I want to clarify the meaning of these words:
"Despite my opinions, I do not wish harm on you, deplore anyone who does, will denounce them and report such activities to law enforcement, and you and your family have my prayers for your continued health and safety, and despite our differences of opinion, I hope you are able to prosper in all the endeavors you seek to undertake, and may God bless your days with peace and joy."
I meant that literally. Regardless what evil Wu may or may not be guilty of, anyone who threatens, stalks, or harasses Brianna has no right to do so, and anyone who has ever legitimately threatened Wu or their family has my condemnation as a criminal. Finally, I was trying to express legitimate goodwill for Brianna Wu, as I don't want to see Brianna or anyone else hurt or killed because I was raised to love people regardless of their actions, and on a religious standpoint, it's a Christian ethic I try to live by, even if I don't like their actions.
I still mean what I said above in the same way I did before, and while I'm angry I was lied about and libeled, I choose to be angry yet not sin, merely pointing out the lies and standing up anyone else Wu has lied about.
Those are my intentions, nothing more, nothing less.
P.S. - I can't seem to see most of my posts on most subreddits when I'm logged out, hence the title.

I try my best to avoid the drama swamp that the Literally's call home, for assorted reasons, and I generally consider twitter to be a blight upon intelligent discourse, so I hadn't heard of you or seen your writings before. I'm bored and a little drunk, so I did some reading at Medium and your blog.
While my inner Grammer Nazi wants to give you a stern talking-to for the run-on sentence in the article linked over at that other site, the rest of me wants to commend you. You appear to be thoughtful, earnest, forthright, and eminently reasonable, maintaining a level of dignity that I doubt I could match, were I to be the target of such perfidity. Keep seeking the truth, and you'll keep a new reader.

Yeah, I wrote it all in one big burst because I just wanted to get the truth out there, sorry, the run-on sentence is indeed bad there.
I also appreciate your candor, I'll keep what you've said in mind.
