focusing on the clear privacy violation rather than the very debatable "mockery" is probably much more likely to keep things focused where they need to be

There is only a "focus" on the "mockery" aspect insofar as it was a casual word choice of the coalie who brought this up on the Yuletide DW, and bunch of other coalies then went on to defensively split hairs about how it was not mockery, actually, it was just being mean.

Coalie, the person who wrote to the Yuletide mods used the word "mock" in their comment to characterize what was going on. Along with a lot of other people in this discussion who've been repeating it as their "casual" way to characterize what the problem is. So yes, it's making the discussion about how cruel they were to mock instead of how unethical they were generally.

And the very few times someone has said on here that it doesn't read as mockery they're getting called liars and gaslighters and the discussion immediately derails.

So yes: people are calling it "mockery" repeatedly, and then defending that it's mockery in extremely strong terms, and acting like if you don't agree it's mockery you're saying it's okay, and that's derailing the discussion in unhelpful ways. I mean this is coal, unhelpfully derail all you want, but if you want to do something other than unhelpfully derail off coal, maybe don't do that.

Again, the only people derailing the discussion are the ones who are splitting hairs over whether it was mockery or just being an asshole.
