npub1vtyn4vulw2k03hxv8tnyz0vfws8y8azt5qwdgg5esean2dg4yr2sdcu3uz (npub1vty…u3uz) Counterpoint: Brand's actions may well have been perfectly legal, but he's still a shit.
Ostracism within your community and being subject to a boycott is entirely the appropriate response to someone who's an utter bastard but hasn't broken any actual laws.
Despicable behaviour being "not illegal" doesn't make it ok; the Venn diagram of things that are morally acceptable and legally permissible is not a circle and can't be made into one.
