@AdrianChen: what more do you want?

@mathewi I just think "anonymous online mob" is the easiest target in the world and actually absolves everyone of responsibility.

@AdrianChen: I disagree, but assuming you are right, who or what is the appropriate target then? or do we just ignore it?

@mathewi sure they all have a sort of mob behavior, but condemning that is like condemning "aggression" in an anti-war article.

@AdrianChen @mathewi I see the outrage as a form of slactivism

@antderosa @adrianchen @mathewi it's worse than that; The outrage directs itself toward the most useless outcome, rather than real change.

@anildash @AntDeRosa @AdrianChen: agreed — that's part of what I was trying to get at in my post

@mathewi @antderosa @adrianchen some folks are more bothered by online tweet mobs than by things like @stopandfrisk? I don't get it.
