Harassers and bullies succeed in tech because silence is encouraged

And the net of all the chatter...

I've read the comments, and the tirades, and the frothed up righteousness below.

The net of it all it seems to me is that harassment is a Bad Thing.

'We' don't know if someone os being harassed or bullied unless there is evidence beyond the words of the parties.

It's a good way to tarnish someone by inventing a story. Blackmail even. Or preferences 'unless you give me a pay raise I shall claim.... '

So the law needs to prevent NDA's and only accept affidavits from more than 1 person regarding another person's behaviour.

And the idea that society could come up with a better way is perfectly valid. If we make the media responsible for what they punish, then of course society can change. We have stopped slavery. We have mostly stopped the idea of invading the next village and stealing goods and cattle and people.
