Maybe do it in a round about way?

Well it does help if it comes out that its not politically motivated like what Tim is saying

Don't even give their twitter handles

True

this is an ethics conundrum

why should people know who did it?

shouldnt*

I just hate the idea of them getting what they wanted

should the public be allowed to see the other things these people claim?

Not when you are correcting ppl.

Well its like school shooters in a way?

^

Well, minus the dead kids.

do you think you have a right to know who did the swatting?

and why

Like there is a right there. Its just peoples reaction to it

Tim, if there's a way for you to air the information required to correct it, you should. But you should also try your best to give the individuals as little publicity as possible

Like how people reacted to the unabomber, the boston marathon bombers, or columbine

dooI have the right to trickle out tidbits of info and with hold some from the public?

It's not about rights really imo

should prolly have the right to know,
But i'm not sure if you HAVE to know more like, can be requested

Yes but at the same time they do it for publicity. If people didn’t get recognition for it they might stop trying.

It’s tricky.

Yeah

thats activism imo

deciding what people should or shouldnt know

Hmm ,if you dont, someone else will

And who knows what spin the other will put on it

I think people should know eveyrthing I know about it

including who did it

Tim, deciding what people should or shouldn't know is your job description.

Your call.

Just facts

Hes kinda in that buisness actually

Use your best judgment.

Theres publicizing a mass killers name and then theres correcting falsehoods.

Do you know your plan?

withholding info to protect privacy is one thing

Or are you kinda on the fence here?

withholding info to prevent behaviors on a moral level is another
