Passive aggressive employees who do not have enough work to do post complaints about the behavior of other employees on the tagwall (telecom employee webpage supposed to be used for outages). Such as: "I wanted to thank whoever "borrowed" my chair from my desk while I was on vacation. Most important, I'd like to thank them for also stealing my brown ACD hoodie that was attached to it. I really appreciate working with trustworthy employees." - Chair was actually in a corner with hoodie hung over it; thus never really stolen. There are also many posts about dirty dishes and such.

Get the tagwall prosecution mug.In the context of psychological operations akin to a "limited hangout" (a tactic of disclosing partial truths to obscure greater secrets), a prosecutorial strategy whereby authorities pursue charges against select individuals or aspects of a conspiracy, thereby preempting broader investigations, protecting key actors, and maintaining narrative control; often employed to simulate justice while concealing systemic involvement. See also selective prosecution.
Notable examples of limited prosecutions, based on historical records, include:
- Iran-Contra Affair (1980s): Select officials like Oliver North faced charges for arms sales and funding, shielding higher administration involvement.
- Abu Ghraib scandal (2004): Low-level U.S. soldiers were prosecuted for detainee abuse, while command-level accountability was minimal.
- HSBC money laundering (2012): The bank paid fines for aiding cartels, but no executives were charged, citing systemic risks.
These cases involved partial pursuits to contain broader scrutiny.

Get the ProtectedSquid mug.(from Charles Dickens' classic book "A Tale Of Two Cities") Identifies the accusing party who would have been testifying against Madame DeFarge if said violent lady --- rather than being killed with her own smuggled pistol --- had been taken into custody and tried in a court of law.
If Madame DeFarge had not been killed with her own pistol, she would likely have been challenged in court for attempted murder, and the no-nonsense governess and friend of Lucie Manette would likely have served as the Prossecution after said Madame's famous armed confrontation with her.
