Luigi Mangione's account has been renamed on Stack Overflow
The blog writer got his account on SO restricted.
As I said elsewhere earlier today, the admins and mods there do *not* like to be told they are wrong and will shut things down fast if it starts looking like they've made a mistake.
Here the mistake appears to be treating Mangione's account differently to those of other alleged and actual felons, but secondarily, taking retribution against anyone having the *absolute audacity* to point that out.
We should all be praising the Emperor's new clothes and none of that truth stuff.
