I looked through all the mentions of his behavior in the post. I think only one of them is plausibly misleading. I say
I see clear reasons to think that Kat, Emerson and Drew intimidated these people into accepting some of the actions or dynamics that hurt them
I only have reports of intimidating actions from Emerson and Kat, not Drew. I don’t have any reason to think he reduced the level of intimidation, but I don’t want to convey that I know of positive acts of intimidation that he took, beyond broadly participating in the dynamics set up by Emerson and Kat and being supportive of his brother. I’ve edited that bit and included it in an addendum collecting all edits.
Speaking from my perspective, not from anyone else’s (e.g. Alice’s, Chloe’s, yours) I don’t see Drew as exonerated from the dynamics at Nonlinear, even while I think that Emerson and Kat are each substantially more responsible for them.
I think the best thing to be said in his favor is that Alice felt he was the only one of the three of them to really hear her concerns (e.g. financially) and sometimes advocate for her needs.
That sounds quite plausible. Will do a re-read of my post (and my notes) to check what I say, and think about what edit/additions are worth making.
(Will come back for that tomorrow. I’m signing off for today and taking the evening to rest.)
Thank you Ben—please check comment mentions of Drew, too!
