This is another thing that lands on these threads, like clockwork: one time, a woman freaked out over an overheard joke, complained publicly on Twitter, ended up getting someone fired, and was then fired herself. &quot;And you are lynching the negroes.&quot;<p>That this has nothing whatsoever to do with the comment thread we&#x27;re on about someone&#x27;s daughter being called a prostitute at DEFCON is unimportant; what&#x27;s important is to deploy as many countermeasures as possible to prevent sincere conversation about harassment.
