I don't know. The only rail I see in this discussion is "wow, she should have known better." Nothing about how pathological the response was, nothing about the culture that encourages that community to retaliate with such vengeance and mirth. All of that is in the story, and in the background, but we're not talking about that... we're talking about whether or not she should have known better. That's the rail.
Discussing the response is useless, because there's nothing much to discuss, we'd just be agreeing with each other and patting ourselves on the back.
I know that some communities enjoys such circlejerks, but I expect HN to be above that.
