I'm going to be super nice about this...
but this is not justice...
It's called stooping to someone else's level

This one does seem a bit... impulsive. We all want to mete out eye-
for-an-eye punishments, and at first it seems satisfying to think
about. But when it comes to actually doing it, I don't believe it
really creates justice. Usually it just breeds hatred and escalates
the problem.

Now, the sentence where he required bunch of teenagers who'd vandalized
a schoolbus to organize a picnic for some grade school kids - that was
a brilliant idea. The grade school kids in question didn't get to go on
their school picnic because of the vandalism. That seems like a really
good, constructive sentence, it makes a reparation to the victims, and
if the teenagers are open to learning, it could teach them a lesson on
the consequences of seemingly harmless pranks.

Why didn't he order this woman to spend 90 days volunteer work in an
animal shelter, doing nothing but cleaning out kitty litter boxes?

I don't think that would do much except foster a resentment of cats.
I really doubt that you can teach people responsibility that way, if
they don't have it in the first place.

A judge after the "Mikado's" own heart! (For non-G&S fans,
he's the one who sings about "making the punishment fit the
crime" in that operetta.)

You are right. It would only be justice if it were for several months.
And she was a baby. People who do this HAVE NO CONCEPT. But one night,
you are right, is not justice.

Have you noticed we have suddenly acquired about a dozen
posters who would obviously be happier in some other
newsgroup, and seem bent upon destroying the community we
have always had here? My suggestions for your kill-files:

There are others who aren't always the most considerazte of
posters, but I doubt any of us would miss any of those I've
listed!

He's not a troll! He's new to the group from my perspective, having
been gone a while and just returned, but I can see that he's not here
to cause trouble. (I apologize, "Retail", but I don't know your name. )



Megan can have a harsh style of expressing her opinion, but she's
certainly no troll.

I don't know what your problem with us is but you can do want ever you want
but you won't be missed
