I am appalled by the utter visciouness of the behaviour of many people in online communities. There seems to exist a deep rooted hatred and venom aimed at contributors that are doing nothing other than put out content, in many cases content that takes time, effort, energy and talent and in return offering no fiscal rewards.

I don’t believe that all of these people have phsycological problems but there are some sick people out there and it seems to be getting worse.

I don’t know how people in the media spotlight deal with this level of abuse on such a personal level. I couldn’t do it.
