I’m not a fan of the phrase “credibly accused,” in Michael Shermer’s case “an anonymous blog post at Pharyngula, which was resurfaced by a student newspaper two years later.

The post stated the police were involved in an investigation of Michael Shermer (they were not).

My understanding of “believe all women” was included the phrase “but not uncritically.”

In Pharyngula, PZ Meyers wrote at the time:

I say credibly accused because I frequently interacted with the woman who made this original accusation, and I found her entirely credible and his denials entirely bullshit. She was not anonymous, although I’m not naming her here. She told the entire story in her own words and faced immense pushback from the James Randi forum but stood her ground.
