Bullshit everyone is responsible for the shitty things they say and do.
Couldn't agree more. But of course acknowledging that doesn't mean giving carte blanche to any kind of vigilante justice or approve of Draconian methods to enforce one's morality on others, like hunting down adulterers and threatening to release photos of them cheating online unless they mend their wicked ways. The responsibility thing just means unless you have some kind of mental illness or something that would impair your control over yourself or are a child etc. that you are responsible for what you say, if you said it under your own accord.
As far as I can tell Mr. AssholeSolo did nothing that reasonably warrants any more than anyone stumbling across him calling him a fucking asshole ... not that he'd probably mind that given what he calls himself, but he had every right to say what he said regardless of what I make of it and CNN had no right, or shouldn't in my humble, awesome, handsome opinion, to threaten to doxx him to keep him in line.
WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE INTERNET RACISTS??????
