Great point. Situations like this make it abundantly clear that folks out there are more than happy to bash away at some poor indie the other side of the world, as well as making demands, publicly vilifying and the like. I guess it's the Internet. It's trained us to be angry in public at anonymous faces, so when the faces are other people, it's a lot easier to treat them like they aren't.

"I guess it's the Internet." I don't think we should accept this though. I think most people would benefit from having "thicker skin", but at the same rate we should not rationalize boorish & hostile behavior. Anonymity does not have to lead to ass hattery.
