Nothing, no decent person would approve of that behavior IF IT HAPPENED. I'm talking about the impulse to immediately burn people at the stake for being accused of impropriety. When I say "new age of Puritanism," I'm speaking to a larger issue. The puritanical mindset relishes in finding and punishing evildoers, and presuming any modicum of innocence just gets in the way of the fun--the demonizing of others and the demonstration of your own relative goodness.

Nah man. Maybe it has to do with seeing it happen in my industry and knowing people it directly affected. Maybe it has to do with the fact that many times they weren't taken seriously when they reported it or were told it's to as big a deal as they are making it out to be. Maybe it has to do with harassers not being disciplined, precisely because of the sentiment you write above.
