Then, later I was approached by attorneys representing a few pension funds who were suing personnel from the yellow pages company, RH Donnelley, for misleading investors about the viability of the company.

How did you get into doing SEO Expert Witness work?

But there are a number of others who’ve done a profile on the guy that also point out that his quality is extremely poor. How about “Is Charles Johnson a Digital Darth Vader” by Politico:

You also express a feeling that I think quite a number of people have with this story — that “this isn’t right, but the guy sorta deserves it because he did some bad things in the past.”

Again, my issue with this is that if he used Ashley Madison along with the other 36 million users who were outed in the hacking scandal, that has zero connection to his service as an elector. Likewise, going through bankruptcy proceedings (which are legal, and over 800,000 people filed in 2015 alone), and operating a website business are also not connected in any way with being an elector. These sorts of background details apparently are not considerations in the selection of Republican electors in Texas, so all of this is immaterial and merely part of an effort to shame, bully, silence, and threaten this guy.

Putting up with these sorts of online abuses merely empowers further asocial behavior on the internet which are extremely damaging to individuals, and to our society. It’s quite likely that Chris Suprun has grounds to sue Got News for invasion of privacy.

How would you like it if someone pulled info from your private life to try to bully you into voting one way or another? Or, to retaliate because you voted one way or another?

The character assassination piece was inappropriate, period. There seems to be some feeling among Republican voters that “he has it coming to him” for defying their will. That’s simply not true, although seeing him beaten up is apparently satisfying to some.
