I don’t think the initial goal of this discussion was to punish anyone socially. In my view, the author shared their findings because they were worried about our community’s safety. Then, people in our community formed their own opinions based on what they read.
In the comments, you can see a mix of things happening. Some people asked questions and wanted more information from both the author and the person being accused. Others defended the person being accused, and some just wanted to understand what was going on.
I didn’t see this conversation starting with most people wanting to punish someone. Instead, it seemed like most of us were trying to find out the truth. People may have strong feelings, as shown by their upvotes and downvotes, but I think it’s important to be optimistic about our community’s intentions.
Some people are worried that if we stay impartial for too long, wrongdoers might not face any consequences, which is like letting them “get away with murder,” so to speak. On the other hand, some are concerned about the idea of “cancel culture.” But overall, it seems like most people just want to keep our community safe, prevent future scandals, and uncover the truth.
