I'm comparing it to a case where spreading of rumors led to the condemnation of presumably innocent people without due process, in a kind of "precautionary principle". The punishment in question is immaterial to this case. Or will you argue that an episode is only worth of attention if people are killed or physically hurt?

Are you comparing banning someone to participate at conference(s) with hanging innocent people?

I personally believe this fork of the discussion threat deserves a

EOT and salting.
I personally don't.
