Re: Taken for a ride?
Yes, I could tell that you, like me, have been reserving judgment about the particlars of the case. But there is absolutely no need to withold judgment on stalking and intimidating behavior. Chris fully admits that he didn't censor, discourage, or condemn the intimidation. There is no need to have an inquest into the particulars to know that the post crossed a line and was unacceptable. It should have been removed and condemned immediately -- that's bottom line. The fact that he didn't remove or condemn it until forced to, and acts like a victim, reflects on him personally. Same goes for the a-listers who acted like civil rights heroes for reposting the Anshe Chung attack on their blogs. (I support the French happy-slapping ban, too, FWIW. I think the children of the 60's have turned their free-speech ideals into idols, and have become ossified and hardened like statues. Will we see a-listers selling adsense on snuff video blogs and screaming "free speech" while they collect the lucre?)
