Not OP, but it's just a giant false dichotomy. The author is trying to say that because SV can't solve literally every problem on the face of the earth that no one from SV should try to solve this one. Also, I'm not really sure what it means for "Silicon Valley to tone things down" -- what does that mean? Does it mean people in SV shouldn't protect themselves from slander and libel? Does it mean they shouldn't protect others from slander and libel? Does it mean they shouldn't use the court system to go after a cancerous and immature publication that literally ruins good people's lives? Does it mean they shouldn't use the legal system to promote their interests (notably as opposed to the "illegal" system, whatever that would be)? Too me, any of these are preposterous. It honestly sounds like the author is just whining on behalf of Gawker.
