Seems like accusations are flying all over the place. I guess the ones without tangible evidence will be left standing.

Hoffman made an inappropriate sexual joke in a room full of people 30 years ago. That was wrong, but unfortunately, that was common

Though it wasn’t one joke, it was the way he behaved all the time, which included grabbing ass.

He did, in an “I’m sorry, but that’s not who I am” way, and then followed up (per DL) with “it didn’t happen the way it was reported”

the whole world absolutely did not behave that way. and she knew better enough even at 17 to say Hoffman was a "lech" and a "pig"

I didn't say the whole world behave like that. I said it was common.
