That's a really interesting definition of "lynching".

Hey, you can say and think whatever you want... but be careful of the "consequences". You are free... but be very afraid that we might find that you think the wrong thing.

This school of thought is being defended across tech forums. Appalling.

Are you saying we shouldn't be careful of the consequences of our words and deeds?

edit since i can't respond to myself: and here is an interesting definition of "fascism."

[muyuu]

I'm saying that publicly rallying for the persecution of someone based on a prop donation shouldn't be encouraged or defended in any way. It's pure fascism.

Oh yea, because having to step down from a company is like going to jail, or hell, not being able to see your dying significant other because you aren't allowed to marry. Yep he was definitely persecuted.
