I think we are in agreement. It's not my intent to suggest that violentacrez was right where Chen was wrong. My point is that Chen is no more in the right, where he (and Gawker) obviously draws a distinction. I wonder if he discussed this with the stepdaughter before asserting that episode as fact. She was doxxed too.

Good point about his stepdaughter and the reset of his family, for that matter. Many of them are innocent bystanders, and I feel bad for those people. Maybe the karma will come back to bite Chen, too (perhaps in the form of a pissed off redditor sneaking around his life), but he, like violentacrez, made a conscious choice to write what he wrote. He has to live with whatever consequences that brings.
