That's crazy. This behavior will ultimately end up propagating harassment and abuse. It seems like as long as people feel righteous they think that's okay. To me, it's answering a problem with an obvious problem.
No, it's crazy to say that a very specific behavior in response to a very particular situation will just end up harassment and abuse. If that logic were true, then the fact that sites like Yelp exist would've led to us burning the world down.
Creating public, negative consequences for people isn't inherently bad. Some kinds of it are, but it's not reasonable to say that in any form it will lead to abuse.
