At some point we have to decide who this movement and community is for. Is it for popular individuals to act out in any way they please and be awarded maximum freedom and lack of accountability? Or is it so we can insure a friendly space for everyone, including those who are not popular, who are not loud voices on community forums, who do not want to be harassed or leered at or made uncomfortable?
Everything is a tradeoff, and based on what I've seen I'll take the lack of "due process" from trained and responsible professionals over the popularity contests of the mob any day.
