   I reread this blog post by @leigh & @vaurora after many years (it was linked to in a discussion of ethical breaches) and it remains a great reminder that certain acts often conventionally viewed by society as "minor" infractions should be taken more seriously as potential pointers to broader patterns of unethical behaviour.

   "one of the implications of the Al Capone theory is that even if an organization can’t prove allegations of sexual misconduct, the allegations themselves are sign to also urgently investigate a wide range of aspects of an employee’s conduct"

     @vivsmythe "all of these behaviors are the actions of someone who feels entitled to other people’s property" Oh wow, this really brought the point home for me! @leigh @vaurora
