There's a movie that reviews that situation in a navy (nuclear submarine) context, it's called 'Crimson Tide'.

There’s an even older and probably more relevant (or at least similar) called “The Caine Mutiny.”

An lt takes command from the Captain during a typhoon due to the caltain’s actions/behavior and is subsequently tried for mutiny.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, Jacques. We’ve been in a couple spats here but I’ve always respected your thoughts and opinion. Have (yet another) upvote :).

I suspect my comments in the thread about the Google shooting gained me a fresh batch of enemies.

If you look at the numbers for this site, these days, HN is too popular for it's own good, and it's getting really noisy.

On the front page right now, there are lots of garbage articles, with 500+ upvotes and comments, and any one of them handily enables new downvoters.

Way more people can downvote now, than ever before, and users relish new power. Having a respectful honor system, and some voting ring detection is great, but the truth is, there are a lot more shitty people on this site. What to do about that?
