This book makes me feel so conflicted, and I don't know if that's what Jon Ronson wanted to achieve. On the one hand, I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for the wrong-doings of some of the featured people in this book (the guy who made the dongle joke being the exception--that's just a gross case of misinterpretation). BUT I don't think they should be relentlessly hounded by everyone with internet access about their mistake, whatever it was. I'm sure they feel bad enough about what they did, and there's no need to put their lives/employment at risk. I don't know what the right solution here is, and I'm not convinced that Ronson gave us much to go on regarding a solution, or a recommendation going forward, which is something I usually want/expect to hear from non-fiction authors.
