@popelizbet Probably! That's how jokeocracy went out, and I'm 100% OK with that. But Pax got FIRED. And made a scapegoat for 1,000s.
@popelizbet Pax was completely retarded in linking his Twitter account to his job, but 6 years ago Twitter wasn't a radioactive waste dump.

@St_Rev so while I see your point, I'm pretty much playing the world's tiniest violin right now. Those tweets could get me disbarred. -
@popelizbet okey-dokey. -
@St_Rev because their speech may have private consequences. That's where I draw my line. YMMV. -
@popelizbet In the age of networked social media, creating pitchfork gangs is out of control. This has nothing to do with the law. -
@popelizbet I didn't mention rights at any point here. I'm speaking of corrosive effects on civil norms. -
@St_Rev he's framing it as a free speech issue, you talked about jokeocracy as "free speech performance art." Apologies. Long day. -
@popelizbet And again, I'm not talking about jokeocracy, talking about a private, politically powerful gang singling out one guy to shit on. -
@popelizbet Jokeocracy was a performance thing that set out to get banned. I have no objection to that. It deserved it. - 2 more replies

@St_Rev freedom of speech doesn't include freedom from private consequences. Never has. -
@popelizbet that's utterly glib. doesn't include freedom from being beaten and shot bc you were seen speaking freely to your betters either. -
@St_Rev I am sometimes glib, and I have a lawyer brain that instinctively separates 1stAm free speech rights from rights against mob action.
