I used to think the guy who got canceled over an old tweet got a raw deal, then I read the full thread
Three years ago I would jump to defend anyone getting dragged online for something they posted a decade back. Now I actually read the receipts first. Last month a local guy here in Toledo got run off a volunteer board over a 2014 post, and I was ready to call it unfair until I saw he doubled down on it in 2021 and never took it back. That changed it for me. The old post alone? Not cancel worthy. The doubling down 7 years later? That is a choice, not a mistake. I am not saying ruin the guy, but the apology matters more than the original post to me now. Where do you all draw the line between an old post and how someone handled it after?
