That's messed up. The people who perpetrated the smears should have had it done unto them.

In fact, so they had. Only I am not sure
we've been happy, then, to see it accomplished.
The "good guys" -- and such they were indeed,
typical American squareheads -- managed to sue
Dr. Vulis or perhaps even get him to jail, and
then started to post fake messages from his wife
and children accusing their husband and father
of paedophilia and the like, denouncing him in
all possible ways. The good guys explained that
Vulis had also made false accusation, so that should
serve him right.

I know from personal experience that one of the most aggravating things in life is to be accused of things you haven't done nor would even think of doing. I think it's aggravating, anyway. Actually, it enrages me.

True. Still, imagine you're a kid, and
you get posted something in your name,
because your father has offended someone.
And that "something" is denouncing your
father as a paedophil which he was not.

To a grown-up, the well-known "things
that do not kill us, make us stronger"
holds. To a kid, that is not so, in general.

Agreed. People who cause children to suffer deserve a special hell in my opinion.

That's not a single issue. Like, what the bad guy
Vulis did to people should have been maddening, but
harmless in terms of job career. There are freedoms,
and whatever you (allegedly or in reality) think of
any nation has nothing to do with your professional
abilities. It was not harmless, which the freak knew,
but that was not his problem.

What the good guys did was not supposed to be harmless,
but intended to lead to the prohibition, for the bad
guy, to communicate in any way with his children.

It is a definition of "grown-up". Age is irrelevant, of course. For example, a corpse is not a "grown-up" since it never gets stronger with time.
