Right, another online group of people conducting orchestrated campaigns of harassment. They seem to come together with highly tenuous pretexts (eg some random radio show that isn't even on the air any more) yet the members are highly motivated and resourceful. It is a very strange phenomenon, like a cult worshipping nastiness as the supreme expression of existence. These groups seem particularly against art and creativity, their targets are often novelists, artists and performers. I suppose if you are deeply unhappy and disempowered then any form of art must seem like an affront. Only if all creative acts are stupid may you feel good about your own life chewing cud on a forum somewhere.
The more online everyone and everything becomes the more prevalent these generalised and distributed lynch mobs are likely to be. The also function with impunity (eg kiwi farms).
