I did not say &quot;they&#x27;ve done worse&quot;. I said &quot;what constitutes a shame mob?&quot;. I should have made clear my implicit question - how is &quot;shame mob&quot; relevant to what happened with Hunt? Which actions constitute a &quot;shame mob&quot; response, vs. &#x27;rational and sensible&#x27; ones?<p>Without clarification, &quot;shame mob&quot; is a meaningless term because anyone will be able to read into it a wide variety of definitions, including ones that you and I think fall solidly under &#x27;free speech&#x27;.<p>As a historical example, when Republicans supporters shouted &quot;Ma, Ma, where&#x27;s my Pa?&quot; because presidential candidate Cleveland fathered a child out of wedlock, was that a &#x27;shame mob&#x27;? (When Cleveland made it to office despite attempts to use shame to sway public opinion, his supporters responded with &quot;Gone to the White House. Ha, ha, ha.&quot;)<p>If it wasn&#x27;t, why wasn&#x27;t it?
