Which is worse: posting sick child abuse jokes on a public net?  Or
sabotaging someone's career (calling bosses etc.) in revenge?

Answer: It doesn't matter -- they're both stupid, awful things to do.
Two wrongs don't make a right.

Don't post abusive material to the net.  If you see someone else doing
it, mail your complaints to them or ignore it as you see fit -- don't
threaten the net as a whole by using it to threaten people's careers.
The next call could be to YOUR boss!
