No, it was redacted by me after I wrote the post and before I posted it here—the risk is low, but don’t want to risk defamation—or derail the conversation about the overarching issue, in that people might start trying to guess/post names based on my descriptions (which happened with the original post about the Time article).
If someone committed a bunch of money to defend you in a defamation lawsuit, would that help?
Do you have a sense for roughly how much money committed would be needed to substantially reduce the risk-to-you of a defamation lawsuit?
Was the list of rapists redacted by OP or by moderators?
All the [redacted] parts of this post were written that way by the author, mods did not edit this post and if we edit or remove information, we will always either post a comment explaining what we did, or get in touch with the poster directly. (which we did not do in this case)
Thanks for the quick answer! I suspected as much but wanted to make sure.

My guess would be that potential financial costs are far from the only problem with being sued for defamation.
And even on the money side, that’s exposure to 30 separate defamation suits, each of which could easily cost low six figures to defend well.
