This is an account of the impact of "mob justice" within the Scala community, which Jon Pretty faced in 2021, and devastated his career and mental health.

At the time I was taken aback at the lack of due process, and how one-sided accounts from ex-girlfriends could be used to destroy a man.

Now, years later his story still chills me and makes me sad about the divided and sinister state of the Scala programming language community.
