Right. He's how this whole thing would have played out if everyone involved
was ethical:
1. As soon as Erik pointed out the image, Roy would have removed it.
2. The group could then debate whether Erik's posting about this, rather
than notifying Roy privately, was within the bounds of gentlemanly behavior,
or is simply the actions of a cad.
Note that caddishness is not zero-sum. If the conclusion to #2 is that Erik
should not have posted, that doesn't excuse Roy.
