Journalists Carola Houtekamer and Rik Wassens introduce Nick Lim:

> Nick Lim, a young American Internet fundamentalist with absolutist views on freedom of speech

Later, journalists Carola Houtekamer and Rik Wassens use a quote to illustrate how they want their readers to think about Nick Lim:

> "Right now, Nick Lim is like a wounded elk ... It is time to move in quickly for the kill, before he gets away again."

Lovely. "Move in quickly for the kill". Such upright anti-haters!

> At least three suicides have been linked to the brigading on [Kiwi Farms]

If a young American Internet fundamentalist ever has a bad meeting with some upright anti-hater stirred up by lovely words about "moving in for the kill," will journalists Carola Houtekamer and Rik Wassens admit to being "linked to" homicide? If Nick Lim should die by his own hand, will everybody in "anti-hate" understand that journalists Carola Houtekamer and Rik Wassens are linked to at least one suicide?
