Not only did he do nothing wrong, he did a very good deed for the world! Hope others follow 🥳

The problem is that there's a steady supply of psychopaths to fill the role.

The blog writer got his account on SO restricted.

As I said elsewhere earlier today, the admins and mods there do not like to be told they are wrong and will shut things down fast if it starts looking like they've made a mistake.

Here the mistake appears to be treating Mangione's account differently to those of other alleged and actual felons, but secondarily, taking retribution against anyone having the absolute audacity to point that out.

We should all be praising the Emperor's new clothes and none of that truth stuff.

But not

The Ross Ulbricht case is even more egregious because he was convicted and his old pseudonym remains with his attribution as Ulbricht desired.

Fuck corporate greed!

Yeah. That’s what they thought.

They already have the jury/judges/media/prison brought.

SO is rapidly fading into irrelevance, but we’re all still writing code anyways. Seems like the problem will solve itself.
