[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Awaiting the barrage of twitter apologies to all the other men misidentified in the last couple days who’ve constantly been getting threats over this.

I’m sure it’ll be coming any minute now..... wait for it..... annnnny minute now......[/quote]

Are you not on Twitter? There were massive numbers of apologies to the first doxxed guy.  The information on the second was really confusing due to the utterly bizarre statement Of the organization he retired from, but once people figure out that guy 2 is not the suspect, I expect there will be.

I don’t condone the Twitter bloodhounds at all, just[b] surprised that you seem to think there are no mea culpas.[/b] [/quote]

New poster. Re: the bold, all the Twitter mea culpas in the world won't undo doxxing that's already happened, fear experienced by family members, damage control that wrongly accused people have had to do. I'm not referring solely to this one case but to the whole "we're detectives and will out you!" culture so accelerated by social media. By the time the real criminal is legitimately identified and law enforcement is handling it, it's too late. Apologies after the fact to wrongly identified people are cold comfort, especially if their names live on in Google searches as "suspects." [/quote]

Plus, I mean one would think after they got it wrong the first time they would have shut up, but they needed to do it again and again, wrong each time.  At some point, harassing innocent people and then offering a mea culpa and then harassing another innocent person is bad faith.  Ick.  [/quote]

It’s Twitter and not only Twitter, righteously indignant social justice Twitter.  Those rules don’t apply.[/quote]

Seeing as some of the "mea cuplas" I'm seeing are just "well they're also white males anyways" I am gathering that the code of ethics over there is pretty blinkered.  [/quote]
