    More on the cowards criticizing Marcotte

    I note that most of those criticizing Marcotte in this forum are doing so anonymously. Let's get down to basics here. Men (and women) who anonymously threaten young women with rape or death, under any circumstances, are evil cowards. So are men and women who anonymously mouth their "she deserved it" support for those who made the threats. These people are morally equivalent to the silent onlookers at a lynching. Moreover I can only suppose that most of these folks are trolls, followers of Donohoe's who have decided to come over and continue the hate campaign against Marcotte.

    Evil cowards, my friends. Let's be clear who you are.
