Like the postings on subjects regarding drugs on some forums (which make me laugh) "My dog has gotten his hands on some MDMA, should my dog feel like trying said MDMA what should my dog expect?".

  That's the same dog that I have accept all those "click here if you agree" "by opening this package you agree" licenses.

  Who is this SWIM guy I keep hearing about?

I wouldn't condone hacking of the sort per se, but if were someone were to get into the relevant records and name & shame the anonymous author I would not feel any measure of sympathy for them.

  I'm in the opposite camp, I think it's unhealthy to avoid discussing these sorts of biases. If anything I think it's disappointing that you need to hide behind an anonymous veil to admit you have a problem. The author is inviting discussion, if not outwardly asking to be shown the error of her ways. What's the harm in having these discussions?

  > I would not feel any measure of sympathy She is clearly concerned about the situation. She is addressing it by blogging about it and asking a community for advice. And she's doing an important thing here by confessing and discussing the causes of discrimination from a perspective that you rarely get to hear (for obvious reasons). This is for the greater good. I would feel a lot of sympathy for her if she got in trouble over this.

  what? really? I feel like we aren't allowed to have the freedom of speech anymore. It's A-OK to completely destroy lives and careers through shaming. It's a method of silencing the opposition for having an opinion you don't like. This is evil. This women is just making an observation from her own experiences..and somehow it's wrong.

    Well, we need to separate the two acts: 1.) Sharing an opinion and anecdotal experience on a blog 2.) Disclosing that you're participating in an illegal activity (discriminatory hiring practices) Should she be doxxed and publically shamed for sharing her opinon? Of course not. But should the hiring practices of her company be looked into? Well, thats certainly a much more fuzzy area, because it is no longer a victimless act.

  Wouldn't it be far more constructive to discuss and debate the author's views instead of making a passive aggressive attempt to incite an attack on them, simply because you don't agree with them? This sort of attitude can be dangerous.

    It is great to see how many people are more interested in having a discussion than limiting themselves to emotional outbursts. My post was indeed meant to provoke a frank conversation about an important issue.

Until "Blogger Clarissa" gets a subpoena demanding that she hand over her emails with the guest blogger and testify as to her knowledge of the employer.
- fleitz 12y ago
  The problem is that is you need an aggrieved party... With out knowing who the employer is there is no case, and the police can't investigate in right of the state because no crimes has been committed, nor is the jurisdiction clear.
- waterlesscloud 12y ago
  Who is going to subpoena her? What sort of case would be brought, exactly?
