The proposed solution: "societal pressure". That certainly seems innocuous enough. But online harassers are a tiny group already-marginalized people (asserting otherwise is willfully ignoring obvious numbers, and that should make anybody wary). Increasing the scorn is not going to change them! When this approach inevitably fails, then this same "societal pressure" will be parlayed into the newly-created common wisdom of outright censorship of the Internet.
