Was kinda curious and the OP was too lazy to even provide any links with his rss newsfeed post but here's the post Temkin made in response to allegations on tumblr and facebook.

http://blog.maxistentialism.com/post/91476212698/this-is-a-blog-post-thats-incredibly-confusing

The accuser originally was on social media sites and you'll see snippets of her posts in various news articles and Max's blog that seem largely to focus on trying to boycott the game and using Max as an example of a good alumni, but she also put up a blog post that contains absolutely no details about the attack but does have a lot of motivational sounding fire and fury over the topic of rape.

The people who post stuff like this about CaH are the kind of people who sit at the table making pairs they think are funny but get mad when no one else thinks they're funny enough to win the round. It's like you don't get that the point is to make a joke that the dealer would like, not just one you would like. That's why if you've played it a couple times with the same group of friends you'll notice some will win a lot more often.

It's a fun game to play while not sober with friends a couple of times, it gets stale once you learn all the cards or play with the same people too much. Both CaH and Apples to Apples are also good games for getting to know people.

I read her statement yesterday but had only seen a snippet of his. I didn't realize she'd originally called him out as her rapist. Her statement refers to it as "sexual assault," which is a far broader range of possible behavior than "rape," so my comments were based on her saying she'd been sexually assaulted and him saying they hooked up but did not have sex (ergo, not rape).

Or they've gotten that that's point since playing Apples to Apples and realize that CaH lol so randum cards stop being funny after the second time you see them.

There's no rational reason for a mandatory stop at stop-signs for bicycles. Bicyclists don't operate a multi-ton vehicle imposing huge blind spots.

No mandatory stops for bicycles (stop sign turns into a yield sign for bicyclists) reduce accidents. Get educated.

She also didn't take it to him or authorities in the first place, all her original posts were on social media stuff when CaH or Max came up and she was just like "That man raped me, don't buy his cards and don't speak well of him as an alumni" then she turns around and posts "I am not interested in pressing charges. I don’t think my attacker is a serial predator. I see my assault as an almost textbook example of a “crime of opportunity”. I have no interest in personal compensation, monetary or otherwise. I have no interest in his company or in stifling his intellectual or personal life."

Yeah she has no interest in harming his assets or his personal life or legacy and yet she kicked off this whole shitstorm by trying to smear his name and get people to boycott him. She went through no official or legal channels, he only heard about it through someone he knew forwarding a tweet.

You'll also notice that jezebel and a couple of the other articles keep quoting a "threat" from Max where they take the line where he said "I spoke with my lawyer, and she thinks I have a clear case to sue this woman for libel and get a restraining order, but I have no desire to bully or harm her." and ignore that it was part of a paragraph where he directly states that a big part of why he doesn't want to sue for libel is because he worries that might discourage victims from reporting, but naturally that part of the quote is never included.

"I spoke with my lawyer, and she thinks I have a clear case to sue this woman for libel and get a restraining order, but I have no desire to bully or harm her. Additionally, I’m not wild about the precedent that sets for other women to come forward in cases of actual sexual assault."

they should probably stop at red traffic signals though since there will be cars going through in the other direction. I mention this because I have seen cyclists completely no sell a red signal and literally laugh at the motorists who honked at them because they, you know, expected to be able to go through their green signal with zero risk of running over an rear end in a top hat cyclist.

Cyclists might not have blind spots and be able to stop on a dime but that doesn't mean that all cyclists are decent, competent human beings who will use them and will stop, respectively.

I agree with you, bicyclists shouldn't run red lights. I just think (and evidence backs this up) that reducing speed and watching the road (and yielding appropriately) is sufficient for bicyclists encountering a "Stop" sign.

The great thing about being a cyclist is that you can pretend to be a pedestrian, a motor vehicle, or neither depending on what's most convenient at the time. You can also get angry/indignant at pedestrians and motor vehicles for not bending to your every whim.

Stop being so angry. Guess what, a bicycle is neither: In my opinion, cyclists shouldn't cycle on pedestrian walkways and sidewalks (I have no problem with laws forbidding this), but not all road rules that apply to cars need to apply equally to bicycles (see: stop signs).

I know what you meant, I just disagree that that is the only or even most reasonable interpretation in context. He doesn't need a lawyer because she isn't pressing charges and he doesn't want to sue her.

I think the problem with CAH is that every time I play it the actual funny card combinations get swept aside for the ones that are "ecks dee so randum," which kills the entire longevity of it. Every time I play with people who play it for the first time, like clockwork, stuff like "David Bowie riding a tiger made of lightning" will win out over cards that actually make sense and tell a darkly comedic joke. But then we'll play again, and they see the David Bowie card again, but this time it's not funny. I feel like the game would be ten times better if they got those ridiculously verbose cards out of the deck.

Oh, the Temkin thing? I don't know, I don't think he did it, but I have seen crazier poo poo from people who call themselves feminists.
