Advice I'd give someone who asked:
Bashing other people makes YOU look bad. This is particularly true for the dead, who aren't around to hear your insults.
How small you must feel to have to get that last dig in.

Consequences are not cancel culture. They're just a new concept for parts of society, who have never actually had to deal with them before.
When the papers start whining about “cancel culture” again, remember that these men are stepping down 1) voluntarily, and 2) because their jobs have no real impact on their wealth and power, and 3) BECAUSE OF THE RAPING.
