I didn’t actually interpret Lark’s post as trying to contribute to the “ongoing prosecution-and-defence of Robin’s character or work”, but instead think it is trying to add to the cancel culture conversation more generally, using Robin’s case as a useful example.
Sorry, this is on me. The original draft of that sentence read something like “I agree with Khorton below that little is being served by an ongoing prosecution-and-defence of Robin’s character or work, so I’m not going to weigh in again on those specific points and request others replying to this comment do the same, instead focusing on the question of what rules we do/don’t want in general”.
I then cut the sentence down, but missed that in doing so it could now be read as implying that this was Larks’ objective. That wasn’t intentional, and I don’t think this.
Thanks for your response.
