And there is the fact that some people actually want to get away with being antisocial. Either way, society has always been about isolating the behaviors that the group finds problematic and using guilt and shame to either scare the offenders away or force them to get in line. It's distinctively human, and it's not going to change any time soon, if ever, especially since it has served humanity so well up to this point.
I don't expect it to change, but I wouldn't like to see SE support harassment of any kind.
Harassing someone for being a jerk doesn't make it right.
If fan sites allow it.. well that's up to them. Sad if they do. It would be nice to see them steer away from such vicious behaviour.
