Exactly. In a few sentences, edw519 took apart Aaron's whole life and claimed to know enough to write off his plea for help. I think a good first step would be for Ed to apologize and stop trying to defend his rude comment from 4 months ago.
- mercurial 14y agoOh, please. What is this, a witch hunt? Or maybe some good old-fashioned lynching? Hang the prosecutor on one tree, and Ed in the other tree? Or maybe we should rename HN 4chan, because the general maturity level does not seem very different. How many of those valiant defenders of Aaron put a dime in his defense fund? Clearly, plenty of people agreed with Ed at the time, enough that it was the highest-rating comment. Similarly, plenty of people (at least in the US) agree with tough-on-crime policies. Singling out people, name-and-shame, etc is something only relevant in so far that the actions of an individual deviate, in a bad way, from community norms. This is not the case here.
- gazrogers 14y agoedw519 has posted exactly once on this discussion and made no attempt that I can discern to 'defend his rude comment'.
