The New Puritans

Steps extracted:
1) you divide your acquaintances into heroes, villains, and good-but-useless.
2) you can't continue in your (admittedly "successful") learned behaviors 
(career, etc.).
3) you obsess that everyone hates you and apologize, even if you feel you did 
nothing wrong; and your apology is rejected.
4) people investigate you, confirming your persecution complex by anonymous 
proceedings controlled by people you think hold grudges against you.

And I suppose 5) you grapple with what to do after the episode (e.g. become a 
Free Speech Warrior - FSW or move on).
