Let us talk about accountability and the logical fallacies people use to avoid it. When I decided to put certain individuals on my professional blacklist and tag them on Linkedin to announce it publicly, their immediate response was to label this action a “threat.” This is a classic logical fallacy. A true threat involves an intent to cause actual harm. Tagging a professional profile to highlight documented behavior and protect the broader community is not a threat. It is simply transparency. As shown in the chat logs, they tried to twist a straightforward professional warning into something malicious. They were incredibly dismissive at first. As seen in their replies, they claimed they “couldn't care less" and felt their established credibility was untouchable. Well, actions have digital consequences. Today, their search engine optimization (SEO) tells a very different story. Anyone who searches their names will immediately find the documented case analysis of their behavior, effectively poisoning their search results. They seem to have no choice but to be okay with it now that their digital footprint accurately reflects their actions. Public accountability is the best filter we have. Protect your networks and do not hesitate to document poor conduct.
