What do you think this will possibly achieve? How many times has the internet lynch mob been misguided, for you to realize that this is a shitty way to approach matters? Not only that, but if you want to reiterate Linus' statement (as you seem to be suggesting, to Ortiz herself), at least realize that he made a fool of himself here. The two statements don't contradict themselves, and going from that to a "lie" is counter-productive to the discourse that needs to be held. Suggesting to harass individuals based on flaky grounds (or really, in general), also not productive. And welcome to HN.

I never said that anyone should harass her. That was your idea. Don't project it on me. If Carmen Ortiz has done nothing wrong, then what does she have to fear?

>> What do you think this will possibly achieve? << I'll put myself in Ortiz's shoes. I've just pursued a federal case in which the invested parties no longer are interested in continuing. I do it with a fervor that is unwarranted compared to the severity violation. The accused kills himself out of what appears to be fear. Then a shit-storm happens. My information is everywhere. I'm having to change everything online because it's under constant attack. Forget about the phone, it's only really good for outgoing calls now. I can't do my job as effectively anymore because I'm harried by an online wolf-pack. I'm not saying that's bad or that's good, I'm saying, that's what it's intended to achieve and that's a possibly what Ortiz is experiencing now. My personal opinion is maybe that's not so bad. I would hope that it could serve as a warning to the people who decide to become part of the federal government that should they approach they're duties with a large large dose of humanity. They're people, we're people, and careless anti-social behavior should be met with vehement condemnation by the populace.

  I'll strongly disagree. Mob rule should not be encouraged.
