When people who are idolized — my idols—in the community—my community—decide to rile the crowd instead of having a private conversation. When they not only decide to level one designer (probably student)(probably talented)(probably just made an honest mistake), but also teach all their followers that they should do it too. When they teach new designers that is not just okay, but encouraged to shame their peers without consideration or empathy. You guys (& gals)(& er’body in between) there’s not a lot that bothers me in this community, but I think that’s when I might get pissed off.
A Call to Call off the Witch Hunts

I’m definitely new to the ‘community’ and this is one thing I have noticed. If you have a private conversation and the person in private is belligerent then MAYBE it might need to go somewhat public (in a forum or open conversation per say) but the destruction that is rained upon said ‘stealer’ becomes out of control very quickly. It would be safe to say some of these ‘witch hunts’ have ended careers.
