Stand up for victims of abuse, be angry, and demand change. But don't turn into a mob. That helps nobody.

I've seen a lot of this over the last few days.People who probably have little to no insight into Blizzard, or any professional office environment for that matter. All of a sudden, everyone's a lawyer, demanding answers and going as far as to throw accusations around based on hunches.I'm not here to argue who's guilty or who's innocent. To be honest, it's probably a spectrum for most staff at Blizzard, past and present, and not all that black and white. But I have no insight and don't feel it's right for me to speculate.However, I do know this: we as a community tend to turn legitimate questions and use them as justification for online abuse and an outlet for our negative emotions.For example, it's silly to assume that Christie Golden is responsible for the entire story of WoW because she's a prolific writer with a social media presence. But people still pile on her whenever the story doesn't fit their tastes. We go from "this wasn't my favourite story" to "**** this person, she/he ruined the game!".It's equally silly to assume someone in a leadership position has complete insight and authority over every little team. Sexism seems to be a systemic issue within Blizzard, as it is in most of society. What's likely is that some of the leadership needs to be replaced to reflect Blizzard taking these problems seriously.But nobody, not the victims, not allies, not developers and not society as a whole benefit from us going after individual staff members (past or current) on social media. Who's guilty or not is for the courts to decide.
