The text of Carolin cube from last Thursday on time online has caused considerable trouble. Many colleagues were indignant at “Denunziatorischen Sound” of article “We Know It”. And when I read piece myself, I understood displeasure. The text reads like a call to keep an eye on certain men of Berlin cultural establishment who are allegedly disrespecting or even offending women, and putting m on a blacklist. However, author does not call Ross or rider. For this she puts a threat into room: “You know who you are”, it is said blatantly to address of meant. And her postulate: “I want you to know that you have to change.” Orwise-what, colleague die? orwise do you make any names public? What right? And where? In time?

“I want you to change!” A big word. Sounds like a virtue tribunal. And what evidence do you present? I haven’t read a single one! Their sources are “stories that women whisper to each or, but never utter aloud,” y write. is extortion and character now a new kind of journalism?
The author counts people from Berlin cultural business, among m an unspecified “innkeeper”, “artist” and “architect”, to whom she accuses minor attacks, but also serious crimes and crimes. Significantly, without sacrificing data and facts. What are se accusations worth?
Where is wrong, May and must be written about it. If criminal acts are done that no one is pursuing, that is one thing for press. But quality journalism researches, examines facts, statements and validity of sources, confronts and listens to opposite side. All se basic rules of journalism were overridden by author for Showmanship, and also by those who edited and cared for piece. Cube text is activism, not journalism.

Did we journalists not make a transparent report to us under accusation of “lies Press”? and to enlighten and not participate in omnipresent conspiracy culture?
After publication of text, my colleagues in Berlin reached out to me names of gentlemen who, perhaps, perhaps not, could be meant. Apparently, prosecutor did not consider that now also respectable could come in bad odor, merely because y are innkeepers or gallery owners. It’s obvious that guesswork is going to start now. Is that OK to expose ors to evil suspicion, but to remain in warm, dry? Is that courage a writer has to raise today?
And anor thing: with law enforcement you don’t drive a tramp. Has dice bad luck, and if an attentive prosecutor in Berlin holds your report for perhaps true, he must act on his own initiative. Finally, text provides sufficient factual evidence for initiation of investigations against unknown because of numerous – even more serious – criminal offences: re is talk of petty offences ( suggestive remarks of a curator, for example, or Grapschereien of an ad seller – sexual delinquency so, for whom new no-called-no-criminal law is now sufficient), but also of sexual coercion or even rape ( artist who compels women to sex), of abuse of incompetent persons ( Architects who fill women with alcohol and drugs in order to durchzuvögeln m toger, when y are almost unconscious, “and from purchase of narcotics (” restaurateur who exchanges cocaine for oral traffic “).
