jon ronson @jonronson Dec 8 Replying to @jonronson 2. People who have experienced a pile-on know something that people who haven't don't know. Unless you're a person who has a weird shame deficiency, and there aren't many of those people about, it can be terrifying. It feels like an earthquake. 10 t29 127 jon ronson @jonronson Dec 8 Especially if you're a vulnerable person to begin with. My biggest memory of when people were relentlessly going after me when Shamed came out. I mentioned how it was playing havoc with my anxiety disorder and someone tweeted: "Stop whining." 7 13 102 jon ronson @jonronson That was very telling. We can't handle thinking of ourselves as bad people and so we have to think of the people we're hurting as having no feelings.

jon ronson @jonronson I can't overstate the agony of being on the end of a shaming. Unless you're impervious and not many people are - it is highly traumatizing. Being told to get out, that you're garbage and you'll be brought down...
jon ronson @jonronson There have been many suicides and there will be more, because on twitter we are still babies with guns.
Such a sad day in our industry!! RIP baby girl August Ames you surely will be missed! Her presence lit up any room, that laugh was contagious you truly were and will always be a superstar. My heart goes out to her husband Kevin and her family
