How long were Noirin Shirley's false allegations on the front page? Once the white knights finish their posturing, it will disappear (until next time).


If you feel the need to pull that in here, at least provide sourcing for your allegations of falseness.


How about the fact that her police report resulted in nothing happening? All we got out of the entire incident was a character assassination under false pretenses and a lot of whining.

It probably also violates HN etiquette to link your comments to your female friends and ask them to upvote it. Please don't do it anymore.


I wouldn't expect ANY outcome from a police report prior to a conviction in court. After all, the investigation now spans at least two states and two continents. I expect that the "accused", if informed that he has no case to answer, will immediately let all us know that fact! I WAS sursied when Shirley posted her accusation, but then got to thinking that she has no other mechanism to warn others - the police case is "sub-judice". Have a nice day and remember that women can knee you in the balls if you are smaller than them.


Good point. I think Michael Arrington redacted the relevant TechCrunch post, didn't he? My respect for Arrington picked up a lot that day.
