Cherry Picking is the practice of choosing evidence that supports your argument while ignoring evidence against it.

I agree with this definition.

It is also almost always intentional, or a result of ignorance, and the term carries negative connotations. Cherry picking is an accusation of bad faith arguing,

I disagree with this part.

you dismiss the claim that harrassment exists with only your ancedotal evidence of not having seen it yourself.

Not what I'm trying to do, and I've tried to be very explicit about that. I'm not dismissing that it exists, just that it's severe or pervasive enough to be worth warning people away from this place. Minor incidents happen everywhere and should be dealt with accordingly. Title IX uses the metric of whether actions are "severe or pervasive", and I think that that's appropriate here as well. The problems pointed out by spujb are a problem that we should try to address, but are not a problem worth reacting to with slash and burn techniques advised.

If you really want to dismiss the notion that their evidence is significant,

I don't. I really, really don't. I'm trying to be as clear as possible that their evidence is valid and significant and ought to be taken seriously. I keep saying this. Please read my words.

Just my two cents, dismiss as you please

Thank you for sharing. Your thoughts are welcome.
