    It's worth noting that Loos was likely a pedophile.

          I saw the headline, saw the twitter link, assumed the main link was an article giving an overview of the twitter thread (because that's how far too many articles are "written" these days) without even looking at the main link URL, tossed the twitter link in Threader so I could read the original text, dropped a comment, and left.

          I'm an ass.
