Unless, of course, they are doxxed, where job loss and overwhelming harrassment and death threats are the standard outcome.
When Hulk Hogan died I said "Good riddance". Are you really going to try and say the person that makes that kind of statement (Or Corsi's in this thread) should face the loss of their livelihood and the life sentence of harrassment that comes with it for saying something on the internet?
Some of you are getting way too comfortable with literal fascism.

Corsi’s comment is beyond outrageous. Saying “Good riddance” when Hulk dies less so. You are right though it can be difficult to determine where the line is drawn. Ultimately I suppose the public decides where that is and it is subject to change.
Obviously a guy in the back changing tires is subject to less scrutiny than the head coach of the Calgay Flames. But when tire changing man applies for the managers position 4 years down the road and it involves dealing with the public, handing out kids soccer jerseys to the team that is sponsored by the shop, his social media history is going to be relevant.
