@auerfeld @Hanissee @BeeDemocracy @Suzi3D What amazes me with regards to these ‘HR Defenders’ claiming to be concerned about victims of rape is 1) The ‘professionals’ didn’t see any problem with calling out Mr Melzer on Twitter. If they felt they had a valid case then surely the respectful approach would be to address...

@auerfeld @Hanissee @BeeDemocracy @Suzi3D ..the issue through appropriate channels. Respectful to the Rapporteur & to victims of rape because:

You don’t go on Twitter as a professional...

@auerfeld @Hanissee @BeeDemocracy @Suzi3D to call out another professional & supposed colleague unless you are actually not very professional at all or you were looking for a public outcry loud enough to damage the person you called out. To call out the people calling you out for doing so is not good faith.
