The tone of this blogpost is over the top. I mean... The *erasure* of Luigi Mangione The saga on Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange, *and how tech always serves the ruling class.* or It’s important to *grasp the severity* of my suspension: suspending a professional resource for one year will create a hardship for me. And, I’m one of the largest producers of content on the network We're not talking about the Department of Defense, or the Catholic Church. StackOverflow is just a popular Q&A website. Since it's popular with the software development community, it's of some importance - not enough to merit using the tone of Woodward and Bernstein or John Rawls.
