How is this different from being prevented from working anymore? Actually, it sounds like not being able to work anymore plus being ostracized and shunned by your colleagues and many of your friends. I mean, if that's what you think is a just and fitting consequence for his actions, fine, I'm just trying to pin down what you're calling for here.
The thing that really confuses me about this discussion is that this literally does not affect your life unless you let it. You can pretty easily ignore Louis CK's career (and his existence) if you want to, yet some of you guys are really upset about it continuing even though presumably you're not going to have any interaction with it. The guy did a bad thing -just how bad seems to be a matter of disagreement, but everyone agrees it was bad to some extent. As a result, you seem to desperately want to
know that he's being made to suffer, even though his suffering won't really affect you. Somehow you seem to think that expressing said wish is demonstrative of you being a good person.
Peoples' moral intuitions are often pretty baffling.
