Knife wounds heal, property can be replaced. Being publicly shamed and humiliated on a high-volume Internet site lasts for life. And there is not even the excuse of momentary anger here, as there sometimes is for stabbings.
‘Who steals my purse steals trash; ’tis something, nothing;
’Twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him,
And makes me poor indeed.’
