View submission: Dear Internet Vigilantes and Lynch Mobs
People who pull that sort of shit (posting personal contact information on the internet) have never had to live in fear, have never had to file for a restraining order, have never been stalked, and have never for a second checked their rear-view mirror to see if they're being followed. It's awful the terror they feel is their right to wield over someone they don't even know. It's a free country, sure, but you're also free to stop and think for a minute on whether what you do will negatively impact other people in regretful ways. If what someone is doing is truly against the law, and you have that personal info, report them to the police, don't send internet crazies after them, they're NOT cops and they DON'T have the right to do anything to "take care of" the situation at hand. If someone just is behaving in a way you don't like and it ISN'T illegal, get the fuck over yourself and mind your business and remember your manners. Did your mom raise you to be a bully? I'd guess not. If she did, that sucks for you, but if she didn't, act like she'd expect you to, not like a jerk.
There's nothing here!
