Unfortunately, some people on the internet seem to think that a) the way to punish misdemeanors is public humiliation of some sort, b) they are the police and judge and jury who will decide who's guilty and apply these punishments, and c) what things are *misdemeanors* and what things *they, personally, dislike* are precisely equal as sets. Of course, all three things are wrong. :) Those people cause as much trouble as trolls -- perhaps more, since they're among the most incorrigible troll *feeders*.
