Thanks for your post—while I disagree on the resemblance (I wouldn’t have posted it otherwise), you seem to be right that this Brent seems to have been around for a while before the EA community’s Brent, and this therefore likely isn’t the same person.
Thank you for spotting this—false allegations are incredibly dangerous and I’m glad you provided convincing evidence in the other direction.
Do we have a sense of how we would respond as a community if we did in fact find that our Brent were in a new scene? Do we actually know that he isn’t causing harm wherever he currently is? You mention rumors about where he is—is that knowledge that might be harmful to withhold? The community has already had enough sexual assault incidents in the past 5 years—we don’t really need someone that was not properly dealt with harming people in another community and blaming it on EAs.
