This is an interesting topic, as I find that it's a good thing to be more aware of what you are saying and the consequences of such (such as the Sacco case). You generally can't just blithely toss out racist/sexist/ignorant stuff anymore and not get called on it. Which is good.
But does the 'punishment' fit the 'crime'? Not by a long shot. The 'internet' doesn't know when to stop, and doesn't tend to until someone's a crater in ground. Which is bad.
