another anon already corrected you, but i'm p sure the issue here is not fears of a breach of privacy but rather 1. people fearing repercussions from jade/alisa for dropping caps that would identify them as the whistleblower and 2. lbr there's a large chance that the other half of the conversation was also complicit to some degree

what jade is being accused of is very similar to the accusations that plagued jamie before tai finally decided to risk burning their own reputation for the sake of outing her - and while tai did accept complicity in jamie's actions and the consequences that came with that, that's not a decision many will want to make

my bad, and i've definitely been exposed as a filthy flatviewer here

as to your points, though, i just don't find this argument all that sympathetic. as i see it, the people with relevant deets have two choices: they can avoid conflict that might reflect badly on them, or they can excise jade/alisa from their community via callout. it seems like they want to do both. but 'both' isn't one of the choices. if they've decided that their preference is to avoid conflict by protecting their identities, that's fine (in fact, that's probably the smart choice), but a consequence of that decision is that nobody else is going to care and they will probably have to tolerate jade/alisa continuing to exist in the same spaces. conversely, if they want jade/alisa run out of DWRP, a consequence of that is that their identities will probably be exposed and they'll be subject to the judgement of wankgate.

i definitely don't disagree with you. in explaining why i think they're so reluctant to produce actual deets, i'm definitely not trying to say that i think the path they've picked is the right thing to do or that we should just take everything that's been posted on wg about those two at face value. in fact imo if everything that's been said is true, expiation has much bigger problems than just those two

none of the things jade is being accused of can be done without the help of enablers, and i'm not sympathetic whatsoever to people who've just been letting jade shittalk other players to them while doing absolutely nothing to stop it from happening
