    From the article:

    Melissa Gira Grant of the New Republic contacted Stewart, using the email and phone number included in the lawsuit. He denies having sent that request, pointing out that he is already married, to a woman.

    Person whose name and phone number appears in lawsuit is contacted, denies making a request, is married to woman.

    Yeah, super crazy fucking reality here.

        As an American, I look around today and realize that a polite insistence on “don’t feed the trolls” is in large part how we got where we’re at today.

        That could very well be rewritten as “don’t challenge the ideas espoused by trolls.”

        So I think I’m going to continue to correct blatant misinformation, and if you don’t like that, you can feel free to hover over my name and block me forever. AWESOME! 👍
