"If the only course of action is to say "Oh no! They used a throwaway account, so there's nothing we can do about the toxic environment posts like this create for members of our community!" that doesn't bode well for having a non-toxic environment."

How on Earth was that comment "creating a toxic environment"? It was added a week and a half after the original post went up. By that time nobody but the most obsessive are still reading the same Reddit post.

Calling it "toxic" and having the CEO himself declaim from the pulpit about how this random throwaway account on Reddit with all of six posts to its name over the span of three months must be destroyed seems like using a nuclear weapon to kill a fly.

The flies add up. There's not a harassment noise floor beneath which we should ask the harassed to just shrug off harassment by their coworkers.

There's not a harassment noise floor beneath which we should ask the harassed to just shrug off harassment by their coworkers.

I'm not gonna argue what side this is on, just that there is there is a floor. They're called "haters." Conventional wisdom is to shake it off. (Just think about the time spent getting down and out. You could have been getting down to sick beats.)

Different people will have different opinions on if this is above the floor and actions should to be taken in response. People are going to to disagree about when actions cross boundaries, so simply labeling actions as harassment doesn't cut it to make everybody agree with your view that it has crossed boundaries.
