I suspect(and hope) most people don't believe lynch mobs should be permitted in society. What I don't understand is why the electronic equivalent is socially acceptable?
"it was stupid to take as long as they did to dribble an explanation out."
Didn't they answer in a day or two? That is fucking fast, esp for a giant corporation.
and "it was stupid to speak in PR-ese to the public about something that really matters;"
What I remember reading sounded very un PR-ese. Trying to find their press release to reread... They don't have one / I can't find it. That is bad. This is what I read http://blog.seattlepi.com/amazon/archives/166329.asp http://blog.seattlepi.com/amazon/archives/166329.asp I guess that's not official release.

- wingo 18y agoLynch mobs do not have electronic equivalents. The worst I can think of would affect a person's psyche, but Amazon is not a person. The analogy is not apt.
- njharman 18y agoI meant the figurative meaning of "Lynch mob"(which perhaps only I hold) I should have used "mob justice". Amazon is a "virtual" person under US Law. I don't like it but it's the reality of corporatism. Amazon can receive justice or injustice. In this case the mob delivered them a heap of injustice.
