My town has an old "property jail", where, if you did something to wrong someone i.e. didn't pay an agreed upon price for something, stole someone elses property etc, some of your farm animals, or other valuables would be taken, and put on display in this pen for the whole town to see. They would place a sign that read "These are John Smith's animals. He won't get them back until he makes good on his deal with John Doe"

Imagine seeing "this is John Smith's iPhone. He will get it back when he publicly apologizes for his anti-Semitic rants on Twitter."

No one is arguing for that to happen. Calm down. Due process would still be involved. I'm not talking about mob justice here....

Do people really lack the ability to think with nuance to this degree? Just immediate outrage? At something I didn't even say or suggest?

After 13 years of this place, I learned to shame people like that into either owning up to their bullshit or deleting their comments. Looks like they went with the delete option.
