Talib said she was still talking about him after she blocked him. I would call that back and forth not cyberbullying.

You said in your reply "she isn't the first person to make allegations about his character" does that mean you were deflecting ?

No she does not have to be perfect, but when she parrots white racist trolls accusations or co-sign someone who did, it doesn't help her.

Yes

But some people pushed back or didn't responsd at all right ?

I believe what she says about the industry but I disagree with the spray everyone tactic.

It may be true but it's not enough to burn everyone connected to them.

True it doesn't resolves the allegations but it is part of his character, so if someone is attacking his character it makes since to say look at the whole picture. If a stan was putting him on a pedestal, it would be fair to point out his flaws. This is the same thing.

Sources are stronger when it comes to Cosby, given the deposition that came out. Now if it was only one or two making accusations using sources that are not credible, people will think twice.
