A worrying trend of current times is for individuals to be publicly lambasted and ridiculed on public forums, Keechbook, Tw-atter etc. by largely anonymous individuals who freely pass comment on incidents and goings on without being in posession of the full facts but instead seem to get some sort of cruel and sadistic pleasure out of publicly dragging folks' reputations through the sewers, usually accompanied with many personal insults. This achieves nothing at all.

If we witness someone doing something wrong or dangerous, not just in aviation but in life in general, then we have duty to report it through the official channels, instead of (anonymously) going onto a forum to moan and bitch about it and get all high and mighty.

Character assasination and hanging without trial (metaphorically speaking) seems to be a very 21st Century thing in Britain. Why?
