Are you sure you want a comment like this in your history? It seems a bit sharp.

How often are you hiring for that to matter to the average HR user? If you have time to research hr usernames how many resumes are you really getting through in a week?

  Just hired 6 people last week. I interview for the company on a weekly basis

    Would you care to mention the name of the company? I, and probably an insignificant handful of other unsuitable candidates, would likely benefit from never applying to work there. And I wouldn't want to waste your time, of course. Cyberstalking and doxxing sounds like a lot of work, especially if it's a rejection-only signal. Interviewing and hiring is very important work, and your company is depending on you for its future. Six people in one week is huge. The people you hire are lucky to work at a place that has so few problems finding talent. I wonder, though... Do you think that the nature of your work role has created a bias towards the recruiters and interviewers over the interests of the candidates? Or that it might be an abuse of your hiring authority to threaten a pseudoanonymous person on the internet with a permanent, pre-emptive no-hire status, over comments that are not obviously offensive, whose content is only objectionable due to disagreeing with something you said? As someone who hires, do you feel this is appropriate?

Really? Are you interviewing for positions in your church, or early learning center? Because if you screen people out because they use colloquialisms like "kissing butt" in amongst an otherwise professional web post, to be honest that doesn't sound like a fun place to work.
