Jackie Treehorn,

In your worldview it is apparently acceptable to ask strangers to publicly explain their actions. In fact, you demand that they do so. It appears, although I cannot be sure, that you also want them to admit that their actions are unacceptable, not only to you, but to the general public. It also appears, although again I cannot be sure, that you would like them to do some introspective self-exploration into the underlying reasons for their actions. Finally, whether I am correct or not about those last two things, you want them to change their behavior. Of that, I am sure.

Fine, let’s play by those rules. I’d like to ask you some questions.

What would be your perfect outcome in this specific situation?

Is there more than one outcome that you would like to see occur?

If this outcome (or outcomes) were to occur, how would it benefit you?

Would this perfect outcome give you personal satisfaction?

Would you also like to receive some acknowledgment from the other participants in this online discussion for causing this perfect outcome?

I could ask you a bunch of “why?” questions, but I won’t. If others want to explore those, then they can jump in.
