      Imagine tweeting this four damn years after Jon Ronson's book "So You've Been Publicly Shamed" was published, It names specific cases and people. I could name more, but I intensely dislike this kind of trolling. https://twitter.com/yashar/status/1217471947233087488 …

      Never underestimate the number of people who would be quite willing to see the death penalty brought back, as long as it's nicely covered up with euphemisms. Death for bad tweets!https://twitter.com/MotionPlanet/status/1217478752474738688 …

      Let's not bother talking to the actual person, like Jon Ronson did, let's pretend things about the person to suit the agenda.https://twitter.com/theangelremiel/status/1217728875616227328 …

      There's a middle ground between "proportionate punishment" and "life ruining cancellation". Sacco is fine. Sacco's career was back on track before Jon's book came out.

      Your reminder: if you suicide just because someone idly destroyed your life for no really good reason, or you just try to go on with a destroyed life, it's just the 'repercussions' of your bad tweet, for which you must pay.

      So does "cancelled" just mean "faced repercussions"?

      I personally know a whole family who got cancelled over pretty much nothing at all, let alone a whole annual scicomm convention, so yeah, don't expect my sympathy if you're one of the dishonest 'repercussions' publically-flog-'em-&-hang-'em lot. I despise execution-fans.

      I also see that Jon Ronson answered Yashar directly, I believe before my tweet about his book, and Ronson brought up the suicides. I used to have a very high opinion of Yashar, but that trolling of his, it's disgusting, as too the public-execution-fans swarming to it.

      Not to mention that total looney szvan of PZ Myers' group doxxed a woman medical doctor (for a throwaway joke), and that whole group, including quite a few scicomm people, happily went along with the doxxing. https://twitter.com/catbirdoffice/status/1217793732981837825 …

      One more aspect. Let's not forget that those who rushed to excuse the doxxing of @neontaster included 'left' people like @heerjeet & @ParkerMolloy, & ... a lot of genuine white-supremacists, who also hated neontaster. Creeps of a feather band together.https://twitter.com/jonronson/status/1217511778558599175 …

      It’s funny how the people who still support what happened on the night of the Justine Sacco shaming skirt around the fact that Trump piled in on her that night. All manner of mysoginists did. It’s quite a feat to think that’s a tornado that can be controlled.
