I had been sympathetic, if disagreeing, with your viewpoint in the teacher porn thread, **Beck** , but then you started claiming this:

That’s bullshit. In that thread, you said

and

How much money did her Only Fans account earn her? What drugs does she take? What year is her Mercedes? You seem to know.

_This_ is what is meant by slut-shaming. You could have simply expressed your opinion, said why you thought porn is dangerous, and that you agreed with the school board, and that would have been unassailable. You’d have gotten some reasoned arguments, probably.

But you instead started using a deeply contemptuous tone to this woman (while ignoring the other teacher, who did not “admit her guilt” by resigning: the OP’s story concerned _two_ teachers who were making OF vids), and worse, asserting facts about her circumstances, income, and motivations that you could not possibly know.

I think you’re a generally decent poster, **Beck** , but you showed your ass in that thread.
