The thing with all witch hunts is that sometimes the wrong people are burnt. Not too much of a problem if it is always someone else who is wrongly accused - some here might say? More of a problem when it is you - maybe it may well be you next time?

Perhaps chasing and burning witches is not the right way to deal with the problem?

For the original crime may be unpleasant for the victim but it is not being burnt at the stake and is not terminal to the victim is it?

Given the problems presented by the so-called cure - perhaps the very best thing to do is just to ignore being called names and move on, rather than expecting The Witchfinder General (no matter how well-intentioned) to get it right?
