Basically, the purpose of the online attacks is to try to punish skaters into suffering mental anguish/ anxiety/depression for liking or posting tributes to John in the aftermath of the incident. Now the question is whether doing that could possibly hope to achieve the overall goal of safety in sports? It’s just adding new abuse and suffering to the story. It’s also a loaded situation because it’s a really good excuse for people to attack skaters they don’t like too and to just be aggressive. Which I think was a significant factor in that list being compiled in the first place. The thing originated on a Tumblr blog.
