I may not agree with you on everything you stand for (or against) but I feel for your position the more I read comments that speak ill of you.
If nothing else, these people come off as sociopathic and it makes me wonder if they are in opposition to you because they feel something immoral has been committed or simply because they just want to let out their hatred into the world.
Why not both? Jonathan Haidt, http://righteousmind.com/, goes into depth with moral psychology on why it feels good for many to vilify, call out, hate-mob, etc., and why we're seeing more such strife in the US, e.g., on campus. Recommended.
