Well poop. Insert "Die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain" blather. Neil seemed like a nice guy. Gave good advice to aspiring writers. Was liked by librarians. But he was a guy, and famous, and ...*throws hands in the air*

   Breaking the Silence is his post on his website. Which, uh. Sure. The awful thing about accusations like this there really isn't a rebuttal that sounds reasonable. Speaking up is kind of like just being handed a shovel. I'm not sure there's a way to use the tool without digging your hole deeper. Small wonder some see it as hopeless.

   Neil writes well, though. Even if I'm not hard carried by his words I can see where he's going with them. For all that, though, it's hard to be torn between 'always believe the victims' and 'innocent until proven guilty' when first article ended with this :

  "Trade magazine The Bookseller reported that Gaiman hired the crisis management firm Edendale Strategies and lawyer Andrew Brettler, who has represented Danny Masterson and Prince Andrew."

   Neil. That's ...not a great look.
