@HerraBRE And doesn't the pain he has caused others matters? Are they not allowed to air those frustrations, are we not allowed to find solace in that we weren't actually alone in this, and support each other by that?

You're obviously following people who feel this way, that's why you're seeing it, I guess?

@maloki No, it doesn't matter.

One of the most fundamental problems with social media and harassment and the pain it causes, is that one person can easily become the flash-point of a mob's aggression.

Whether each individual in the mob actually has justifications for his or her grievances is completely irrelevant. Mob justice is never reasonable.

When people become the target of a mob, the only self care that works is to stop listening. Sound familiar? Yeah.

@HerraBRE @maloki Hi, I appreciate you want to defend someone you see being criticized. Like you, I prefer cooler rhetoric than some of what I have seen.

However I have to point out that you're coming into a hashtag not to contribute but to police people's language and tone. Mal might disagree with me, but I'd like to request you not use this hashtag to police what people can say. If you'd like to see less critiques of the leadership here, feel free to contribute to the forking effort

@stephen @maloki Incorrect.

I mentioned the hashtag to draw attention to an effort that I feel is worthy and deserves attention.
