First 43 pages just describes case and lists accusation, etc cases referenced, blah blah.
+ abundant cases referenced all through.
Dozens describing defense evidence.
Second-last 22 pages are devoted to spanking the IO (+other places)
Finally order
Even in the remaining pages, there are other prosecution witnesses, cases and evidence cited, IO spanked, etc.
Judge really doesn't like IO. 22 pages dedicated and detailed spanking.
But still why so much victim dissection? Because much explained in judgment. Some egs:
The judgment doesn't "arrive at" how an educated journalist should..... these are specific comments on specific points and NOT conclusions as is being reported. Will count and post how many pages, context, etc though honestly the pulled/picked up seemed huh?

Human rights activist wanted to met about something he was working on. I explained I don't really go to meet people, but he was welcome to come here and we could talk in the garden.
Garden not possible. Power supply.
Ok, so he could come home and we could discuss in my room.
Refused. Apparently since the Tejpal arrest, for seven years, he has avoided meeting ANY WOMAN where his behaviour could be independently verifiable. Claims he works on a lot of causes and one accusation could derail them all. Apparently was attempted. Not sure if real/paranoia.
So I asked what difference it made if I came to his office or he came to my home. If I wanted to frame him, I could just as easily make allegations there.
The 'appropriating' someone's voice argument is used so illogically sometimes that it is verging on fallacy.
A person speaking their own perspective is not appropriating anything.
It is an ad hominem attack that also adds false accusation to basically shut someone up.
Regardless of the subject. Even if it is a man speaking on women's rights, savarna speaking on caste discrimination against dalits, corporate rich fellow talking of poverty, whatever.
Own perspective is not appropriation.
OTOH, it is appropriation when someone not from that identity claims to speak what their reality "really" is. Particularly when it contradicts stated reality by that identity. This must be opposed.
The distinction is huge. One is interested participation. Other is suppression.
Ghar wapsi continues. Now with an attempt to help community (his followers) too find a good response to self harm.
Probably gets awkward when they are surprised at his U-turn
So it seems from people who do self harm being attention seekers, we have arrived at a place where Brumby is doing his best to find a better response to self harm that doesn't get him spanked.
Not bad for under a week, eh? Practically transforming as we watch.
Unfollow anyway.
All Brumby ever asked for as per today's version is that you don't glamorize self harm and he is still against wokes. Unclear why, since he appears headed there himself.
So I had not really intended to talk about this since the woman in question didn't have a problem.
My reason for speaking up was more that if you're making a space claiming to respect women, then respect them, not trash talk their opinions even after she disagreed first time.
The thing with this not a democracy, my space, my rules thing is that this is exactly what women go through (Which was being discussed just prior). Spaces they live in are usually controlled by men, their opinions are often trashed and their rights can be conditional to approval.
My point was that if he invited her to speak in his space, he owed her the respect of not trashing her opinions.
That said, he was fine after a topic change AND the woman in question did not mind, so it is not my place to object further beyond the space when I was speaking.
