A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Suggesting I'm victim blaming is an ad-hominem attack 🙃
You wrote:
The context of the post was that the CEO contacted them and then kept contacting them after being told to stop. You are cheering on a CEO repeatedly contacting someone to tell them why their opinion was wrong. You are criticizing the person who was harassed by saying the person who harassed them should be applauded.
You were victim blaming, and they even pointed it out kindly.
Let's look at events objectively.
Person A: Doesn't like something and so publicly criticises it.
Person B: Asks for an opportunity to defend the thing and themselves.
Person A: Says no
Person B: Insists
Person A: Then posts about person B on social media in a defamatory manner.
Social Media: Well person B is a CEO, so it's par for the course.
Me: Actually, it's par for the course that someone be given the right to defend themselves
You: You're victim blaming.
Me: 🥴
Honestly, I don't give a shit either way. I don't even know the name or URL of the search engine and I doubt I'll ever meet Lori. I just posted my opinion on something that was in my feed. 🤦🏾♂️
