she did not mention him, this exchange with her friends does not appear on the printout from the
Sysomos search for August 9. But she agreed in her testimony that she tweeted all her followers,
laughing at the parody account of someone she described as “her least favourite creep on Twitter.”
In some tweets, Mr. Elliott referred back to how he met Ms. Guthrie, when he offered to design a poster
for her group. He referred to the attack on Bendilin Spurr and how he disagreed with it. He used the
hashtag #fascistfeminists. He referred to having offered a truce in this tweet: “Hey, @amirightfolks and
@popeshakey…offering #peace in regard to the #FascistFeminists vs. #MisogynistGreg ‘war’. Meet to
discuss? Yes?”.
Mr. Elliott used #TOpoli to call those he perceived as attacking him “losers who attack in a cowardly
pack”. He also tweeted: “Offered @amirightfolks a ‘anytime ride’ when she had a cast on her leg and the
nut-job thought I wanted sex? Fuck. #illegitimate#misogyny.” He also used #WiTOpoli in August and
September.
On September 9, Ms. Guthrie, who while not ceasing to tweet about Mr. Elliott, had not tweeted to him
since sending the retweets, tweeted him to defend herself. Putting a period before his name so that it
would go to all his followers, according to her, she wrote: “.@greg_a_elliott,I blocked you a month ago;
stopped tweeting re: yr serial harassment weeks ago. Stop contacting me.” Attached to her tweet is a
screen shot with the hashtag #GAEhole. Ms. Guthrie was responding to Mr. Elliott’s tweet, which the
Sysomos search did not capture, telling her to stop harassing him. She tweeted: “… I was copied on a
response to his tweet. Lawyer friend advised I publicly state my desire not to be contacted.”
Then, in a tweet that may respond to a September 5 tweet in which Mr. Elliott used #FascistFeminists and
said “You ‘bullies’ create #gaehole … lie”. Ms. Guthrie replied: “.@greg_a_elliott I don’t use the #GAEhole
tag(except here) but it’s not libel. I’ve asked you: stop contacting me and smearing my work. Stop.” Mr.
Elliott had tweeted throughout August and September using #FascistFeminists and #WiTOpoli.
The six November tweets
After Ms. Guthrie wrote telling him to stop on September 9, Mr. Elliott did not tweet using her handle until
November 9. On November 5, the day before the United States presidential election, he tweeted:
“#Massachusetts sounds like a perfectly acceptable synonym for #motorboating a very large breasted
woman. #amirightfolks? #obama #romney.” This tweet is incomprehensible to me without context, but
there was no evidence of any, and Ms. Guthrie testified that she never saw the tweet. It did not have her
handle, but the hashtag of her username.
Four days later, he tweeted, apparently responding to someone: “@dreahouston@kiwinerd Right…
@amirightfolks isn’t ‘whipping up outrage’ she’s fighting anti-opression with oppression. Bullshit. #topoli”
On November 12, he sent three tweets. One was to @elleinad, who had initially engaged him in a calm
exchange about his treatment of women. It read: “@elleinad.. You met me in person. I dare you to claim
that I was anything but a respectful gentleman. @amirightfolks fantasized the opposite.”
Then he tweeted to no one in particular: “You’re a victim of your misunderstanding. You Need us. @liverr
I’m sorry it happened to you…@rachelmack@amIrightfolks@LadySnarksalot”.
Mr. Elliott had previously tweeted flirtatiously with @liverr, who then falsely stated that she was 13. This
led some of Ms. Guthrie’s group to retweet that he was sexual with underage girls.
On November 12, he tweeted to @elleinad again: “@elleinad.. Originally offered to help@amirightfolks w/
@witopoli but then learned she and her crowd #Bully people and call it ‘calling out’”.
Finally, on November 13 he sent a tweet to @justinsb: “You are wrong on all counts. go listen to
@amirightfolks play her shit music in crappy bars with your loser faux-feminist friends.”
