Yes, it indeed backfired. But I have to most strongly object to this
"effort to persuade these individuals (the banned but not the guilty) to
bring pressure on their IPSs" etc. etc. Regardless of the motive
intended, what kind of "justice" is this anyway, to lump a whole bunch
of people together, with absolutely no regard for their individual guilt
or innocence, and force them into such a situation???? This is
definitely NOT a situation or solution that should be encouraged in any
organization.
