A good friend is being subjected to a shame campaign a la Brian Gorrell. The offensive blog gets nastier each time. I don't really know if I want to intervene, I hardly know the other party. My concern is that the situation could get out of control.
But I know that some well-meaning effort is being made to reach out, hopefully to put a stop to the on-line mayhem.
Once, another friend asked me to "mediate" between two warring people when their relationship broke down. I have no intention of meddling with other people's lives, but as a favor, I acquiesced. I invoked Kahlil Gibran and Oprah and started putting some sense into the blackmailer's head. The threats ceased after a while.
