i think it's kind of scary how quick people are nowadays to froth at the mouth and go crazy with the big-scale internet public shaming. one of the downsides of the rise of social-media, i guess

- granfalloon 15y ago@ InclinedPlane 3: so would i. i was just pointing out that there are different degrees of public outing. revoking his degree, getting him fired, and ruining his reputation with hsi colleagues is sufficient...no need to make him an international internet villain
- potatolicious 15y agoI don't know about you, but getting fired and having my professional reputation ruined is a fair bit worse than being an "internet villain".
