This might have been unprofessional activity, but it was blown WAY out of proportion.  Everybody makes a stupid mistake occasionally.  These two have been treated as if they had extremely malicious intent which seems highly unlikely.  The tragic part is that our community managed to ruin two peoples' careers over something that was simply a mistake based in poor judgement and taste.  No wonder our prisons are full and everybody has a criminal record these days!  Pretty soon we will be handing out prison sentences for jaywalking at this rate!
