Let me play the role of Advocatus Diaboli for a moment if I may with all the respect due the OP as he knows I have.
Perhaps by dint of having been raised by a den of bloviating alpha males and making no bones about my continued interest in them, I will concede immediately that perhaps this has made me somewhat deaf to this behavior and though I saw a lot of jumping around and chest puffery I did not see the lynchmob effect as has been described.

No? I can acknowledge that it is hard to see the LynchMob forming from within it's ranks....
In a thread where a lady says a guy is creepy and didn't leave immediately when asked.... BUT DID IN FACT LEAVE with noone hurt..... we have
1- The "victim" suggesting everyone chill she was just trying to tell folks the guy was creepy.....
Then we have a few pages of insults back and forth..... typical board crap..... pretty predictable..... and as some said in the thread...... easy enough to know would occur from prior posting history..... So people got exactly what they were giving....
Then we hear a story about a young kid that walks in scared and is concerned and finds himself being told to get out.... he hesitates but does in fact leave.... OP is describing him now as dangerous..... but nothing in the story indicates such.....
Now others jump in to play detective and build the drama.....
2- A member asks the provider for the guys phone number.....
I'm sorry.... I have a problem with a provider giving a guys phone number to other members of the board for..... what? Walking in and then leaving?
One guy properly summarizes it as another "he Said She Said".....
Another points out that the OP is letting someone get an emotional rise out of her with insults....
THEN BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!
3) A provider claims to have his Drivers License and names the school he attends? And offers to start sharing it with anyone that asks for it?
Is this a lady that ANYONE WILL EVER AGAIN TRUST WITH SCREENING INFORMATION? Why of course... not everyone reads the boards...... Maybe we will lynch the next guy that gives her is license to screen him....
Once again. In a thread where the OP mentioned a creepy guy showed up and left when asked... not fast enough but did leave.....
Now some more posturing on both sides and the crowd gathered starts to be worked up......
4) The "kid" is taunted, replies and then labeled a "terrorist"?
For what?
We are then fed information that is being shared offline......that paints a picture of who this kid is.... He is described, his nationality provided, a name perhaps in the way something is spelled?.... more get involved that are part of the "in crowd" that have been given a hobbyists information.....
REALLY? Guys are passing around this kids information and digging into his life after a lady sends it out.... .and they share it with anyone that asks?
Images of suicide, references to what awaits a terrorist of a nationality on the other side....
Then.....
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!
5) The kid is labeled a potential serial killer? Because he displays traits?
Excuse me folks but isn't a common trait of some of the most FAMOUS serial killers that they are well liked and respected within their community? Should we be afraid of Still Looking?.... He does after all pose all of his "victims" with a creepy little doll and keeps the pictures as trophies.....
Pretty Silly huh? (Note: I have been informed by SL's legal team that any and all of my really long winded posts need to contain some reference of him so as to not draw anything away from his limelight)
Once again... .In a thread where an OP tells us a guy was creepy and left after he was told to. Not as fast as he should... but he left....
6) Another joins the fray and analyzes the kid as "violently mentally unstable"?
Is anyone adding up the guideline infractions yet?
7) another member of the crowd shouts out that if someone will send him the kids picture he will fly it as an avatar/meme because the kid robs providers?
Were providers robbed? Or did Providers not handle their business in a proper manner? They saw a guy that warnings were already out about without screening and they did not get a donation up front.....
Sounds like lack of professionalism meets an opportunist
I'll pause to summarize that we now have a violent mentally unstable terroristic serial killer robbing providers... Or so the crowd is telling us.....
Yet no one has been hurt and everything that happened could have been avoided by the PROFESSIONAL in the transaction handling business...... Ids are being emailed and personal information shared and information is being leaked onto the board now...
More stupid remarks from the kid being egged on by those gathering to lynch him.... Does anyone really expect less? He responds to the suggestions that people are going to find him with typical male bravado of how he will defend himself.....
really? you folks take that shit serious?....... you know your dealing with a kid right?
Now we pause for a little UT humor.....
and getting close to the 100 post mark the guy that commands the stage the most announces the kid is his pet project for the week.... (Note: I believe this is where the motivation for everything else originates)
and more information trickles out..... the kid is told folks know where he lives
8) and the nature of his education is narrowed a little more....
9) What? ..... Someone gave a guy the kid's bank card number?
10) And the RingMaster of the circus directs one of the "others working on this" to email the information to the newest person to ask for the kids info.....
WOW! They are all organized and directed by a leader!
More use of the words "terrorist" and "predator"....
HEY! DID EVERYONE FORGET THE FACT THAT THESE GIRLS DID NOT SCREEN OR COLLECT A DONATION IN THE MANNER EVERYONE HERE CONSTANTLY PREACHES THEY SHOULD?
And a lady acknowledges tha yet another one of the GUYS IS SHARING THIS KIDS INFORMATION.... RECAP! Provider shares personal information with guys in the community and all we still have is a bunch of he said she said?
references to the kids family.....
11) and a provider suggesting the kid is a paranoid schizophrenic?
Several infractions by this point folks.... Anyone count them?
and the kid is now given credit for having a pattern and being predictable and
12) suggestions start to come as to how to "set him up and take him down"?
At this point the kids ID, provided by a lady not one of the injured parties mind you, has been shared.......... So Our RingMaster draws attention to public records and insinuates there are arrest records.....
OK..... Does it take a rocket scientist to understand exactly how outing is occurring? Information is spoon fed and then people are told how to find more? But Wait... It gets better!
13) The OP is excited.... She announces the kid has been arrested in the past....
and then BOOM..... AGAIN....
BIG BOOM actually....
14) A new person enters the crowd and begins summarizing all the information throwing out the names of people in the kids life, how to get the information to him, naming the kid in a play on words yet again.....feeding the crowd The date and court of a conviction as well as the crime AND PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO SEE HOW THIS IS OUTING? He continues to shower personal information on us providing sex and number of siblings.....
HEY WAIT! WHERE IS ROCKER RICK? Didn't you once fight a battle over a picture of a dog that was posted saying it should be removed because a provider had a similar dog and it could out her? I have a hard time understanding where any of this was acceptable to you.
heaven forbid what happens next..... A Provider suggests everyone is overreacting.... She reminds us this is really all about a couple of professionals not handling business in a professional manner.....
15) and our RingMaster calls for Jihad?
16) Another of the ladies diagnoses the kid
with sociopathic tendencies or mental illness....
Folks do know it is a violation of the guidelines to suggest someone has some specific medical or mental condition right? About the only allowable exception is when they tell us in their own words.....
Who has the counter?
More throwing around of the kids name under pretense of other things.....
As a couple begin to get the idea that perhaps the kid has learned enough our RingMaster wants none of that...... No way will he be allowing any "attrition or apolgies"...
17) Now another member calls the kid out by his name....... not once but twice........
Is the counter clicking?
18) Another suggestion that perhaps someone should direct the police to drop by his parents house.....
Another call for for some rational thinking by a Provider...... with a well stated summary of what could occur if people don't ratchet it down a notch.....
Our RingMaster does not appreciate any dissenters in the crowd and continues to name the kid in a manner that long ago quit being subtle....
Our Legal Eagle returns to make sure it does not calm down..... with words like "
who pulled the trigger" and gives the masses additional information on exactly how to fuck with the kid as well as how to do it anonymously..... who folks might approach and how to get more information......
And promises more will be revealed......
No Lynch Mob Mentality here? Really?
19) Another member shouts from the crown that he will go collect money if someone will forward the kids address to him....
Our rational provider points out the principle of collateral damage......... The Kid MAY retaliate against the ones he knows.... since he can't deal with the ones in hiding that fuck with him...... An excellent point.....
Is anyone listening?
NAWWWWWWW
Not a Lynch MOB?
Keep in mind that over the last few pages the kid has been quiet....... It's been the RingMaster's Circus.......
20) and now appearing in the center ring is a new provider discussing how
she and others are armed and know how to shoot
DING DING DING DING DING....... Where are all those that made an issue of the kid commenting in a similar manner?
and we get a few new racial slurs...... Someone click that counter..... a few more times for good measure....
Kid makes an appearance and responds to our legaleagle with some immaturity and emotion..... Can we expect less?
RingMaster makes like his response justifies everything up to this point?
============================== =====================
============================== =====================
============================== =====================
Recap...... A provider thinks a guy is creepy and asks him to leave......He does..... It's determined that a couple of other providers made the mistake of seeing someone there was an alert on and not collecting money.....
No one has been physically hurt....... No one really has any proof of any wrong doing...
A Kid has been outed and more than a few here are unwilling to acknowledge that perhaps enough is enough?
And there is an organized effort being put in to deal with the
"potential serial killer that is violently mentally unstable displaying sociopathic tendencies or mental illness that is a terrorist
All of this is based on some "He Said She Said" totally unsubstantiated claims and the emotional utterances of an immature young man?
I'll give some credit to the kid..... He took a lot of you to the edge and pushed you over......
