I remember the day when a man's job depended on whether his wife could serve a tuna casserole AND a pound cake while maintaining that perky fillip to her do WITHOUT HAVING A TOTAL MELTDOWN (you know us ladies under pressure) and now they demand that a wife just not publish to 1/4 million people how despicable she finds her husband's clientele. OH THE SEXISM NEVER ENDS!

I've got something in the back of my refrigerator that has morphed from either animal or vegetable to fungus and is now on it's way to becoming lichen or even a new species of mushroom. I'd be happy to donate it to the cause

A smear campaign now consists of attaching your name to your words.

She has significant influence and is widely concerned of and by the public. Her entire role is public opinion. She's not tweeting about her kids. She's tweeting about public policy in an attempt to influence public policy.

If you have 200,000 people listening to you speak about public matters, you are a public figure.

It's not libel if it's true. People seem to forget that. You are allowed to say horrible things about other people if those horrible things are provably true.

Can people please stop comparing any possible negative things happening to people they sympathize with to Nazi Germany and its attitudes? Someone's public relations employee husband getting fired over a wife that's spewing hate about a large group of customers is in no way the same as the systematical torture, dehumanization and eradication of millions. How dense do you even have to be?

Every time someone brings up this shitty ass argument i think of the scratches dying people left on the walls of the gas chambers that were planned, built and used _specifically_ for this purpose. How fucking dare you.

What precisely is the difference between "huge following" and "significant influence?" Do you have number in mind? Does 100,000 followers get you the former, but the latter doesn't kick in until 101,000?Not every aspect of her life is fair game. Merely the association of her words with her actual identity. Is anyone defending posting her social security number, phone number, or even her address? All they did was link her real name to the words she said.If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. If you can't defend what you say, don't say it. That would seem to be a necessary precondition of a civil society.

There is an ethical conundrum in releasing a troll' s personal info, even if they did worse to others. I think It's best to draw the line at details about family and other 3rd parties.
