    The blog writer got his account on SO restricted.

    As I said elsewhere earlier today, the admins and mods there do not like to be told they are wrong and will shut things down fast if it starts looking like they've made a mistake.

    Here the mistake appears to be treating Mangione's account differently to those of other alleged and actual felons, but secondarily, taking retribution against anyone having the absolute audacity to point that out.

    We should all be praising the Emperor's new clothes and none of that truth stuff.
