aaahhh thankyou for the clarification
@Kwaaked . I am not part of reddit, so was unaware what you were linking to, but I see you probably had the same thought processes as I did.
I have witnessesed (and to my shame, been part of) witch hunts in the past, and it never goes well for anyone. I think there is a focus sometimes, on the wish for not just justice, but visible justice. A chance for a mob to express righteous outrage, and receive validation.
I hope she learns a lesson in restraint. That sometimes yes, you do get things for free, but its up to you to judge when that is likely, and not overstep your reach. It can be a hard lesson in the digital era, but sometimes it takes a few goes before they get it.
Again thanks for clarifying, and for your explanation. I can occasionally get a bit "preachy" sounding, so I appreciate you (and everyone) taking my post so nicely.
