Person1 should have just held their tongue. Both Person1 and Person4, along with others potentially, would have benefitted from the 8:53:41 AM message merely having never been sent.
Can anyone express the argument against this position?
- iridiumblue 10y agoThat is the "Heckler's Veto". The notion that if an action leads to a hostile response, then that action is to blame. For example, in a civil rights march in the deep south in the 60's, police tried to argue it's the marchers fault if people riot. Yes - had the first message not been sent everyone would have been better off. That does not mean that the initial message bears the blame for what happened.
