Someone wrote a really disgusting e-mail to one of our writers, but at least in doing so they linked to the thread that sent all the trolls over here. Any temptation I had in taking these complaints seriously was killed after reading that rats nest.

In the future, if we ever see this kind of influx of nasty comments from a specific forum, it's very possible the comments will simply be shut down completely for that specific post. I simply don't have the time or patience of this kind of thing, and at that point feedback can be given by e-mail or to our PAR Twitter account.

This has been a learning experience, to say the least.
Oh, the feels! The fact that he threatens to close all comments after he invited people to post their counter-feedback to the article...what did he expect? Flowers and daisies?

As for the email, I cannot condone behavior like that, but I'm surprised she didn't get more, yet he calls it a "learning experience". This says to me how poorly they're able to handle negative criticism. Heads up Ben, time to get off your high-horse.
