Woah - thanks for the link. I've been thinking about the concept of the "pile-on," as it's come up in several different contexts in the last week with the various fails that have been happening. The FWD situation is really interesting (if disturbing and frustrating and saddening) in part because the structure of the "discussion" and even the language used in the discussion (i.e. "pile on") is so similar to other fails we've seen recently. I want to post about it, but I need to have some conversations first.
