Nothing wrong with shaming
Yes there is, especially when it explodes to a completely hysterical, disproportionate global scale. When it becomes not even about what the dentist did per se, but about others asserting their chest-thumping moral superiority and venting their own cruel impulses. And when it leads to destruction of property and outright harassment. I’m surprised that you get so bothered by what the dentist did, but condone shaming, which is one of the cruelest human practices, and is the root of crimes such as honor killings, witch burnings, and causes suicides.
