I would like to add that sometimes these "witchunts" are done against people who don't deserve it by the tumblr army of justice warriors. These "warriors" often don't know the situation in its entirety and have a tendency to blow things out of proportion to make the problems even bigger than they really are, only to turn more people against a particular person. There's a thing in this community about taking things out of context and bending them to make them look terrible for another party.
This is not cool.
Just something related to this, not targeted at you.
But I really do not think anyone can ever deserve to be witch-hunted, no matter what they did and how proven it is. The person being pointed at by people in a lynchmob formation wont learn anything of the situation, instead they might just grow to despise people and continue their behavior in an "up yours" reaction. I know it isn't nearly as serious in an RP community, but I recently read an article (which I can't find atm.) about a girl who committed suicide, after she had bullied another kid to commit suicide and been exposed to the internet.
No one is doing anyone a favour by hunting someone else wild, just because someone has done something bad does not give you the right to do bad against them.
You're all great people. Don't let someone disapproving of you drag you down to a kinder-garden level of behavior.
