Just a question for the Facebook warriors out there. These things do have a habit of spiralling a bit, which does seem to be the case here. Should the unthinkable happen and the harassment of him lead to take his own life for instance, how will you guys feel?
It is not too much of an extreme example of how this could turn out (there are many recent examples of things like this ending in that way). Not defending him at all – in fact, had it been me it would have ended physically for one of us very quickly, but this social media backlash always makes me slightly uncomfortable.
I hope for his sake that he is able to respond in a suitably apologetic manner, so the internet rage might subside.
