Sure. I'm just saying something like: it's good to be conscientious of the habits and convenience paths (i.e., feedback loops) we develop, and of those our actions incentivize others to develop.
Some people who get fired at the behest of the Tweet-mob certainly deserve their fate. But I think habituating organizations to firing people in response to Tweet-mobs could create a real hellscape.
If my response is to try to bend the ratio of people sacked to sate the Tweet-mob towards my personal beliefs about who deserves a good firing, I'm only helping habituate organizations to appeasing Tweet-mobs.
