But it's a summary of more than just the 1st answer :) so it's worth it.
Though they could have edited it a bit better, or tried to reach the people involved, rather than just repackage the thread in one big article.

As someone that doesn't have a Quora account, it's nice to have the content without a Facebook/Google login wall.

You can append "?share" to the Quora URL to read it without having to log in.

#8"I learned that you should go straight to the person you're upset with rather than go to authorities."
This is bullshit and dumb advice. If someone steals my bike and I find out who it is, I'm not going to go to his apartment and beat him to death in the middle of the day (smart money on confronting a scumbag not leading to a productive conversation).
Fuck that. The reason we have "authorities" is because we have people that can't figure out how to live in a society. Why should someone not use the framework that we've invented to resolve issues?
edit: Whoops, I forgot that the internet is the place in which "snitches get stitches" and no one reports serious crimes to the police because there's a batman in each of us.

Interesting, thanks.
I wonder if Quora does this to scam on SEO
