I’ve been involved in online political discussions since 1980.

It’s pretty normal to get hate email. I used to get hate phone calls from Sandalistas back in the old days of usenet, when folks put their phone numbers on their postings.

If you don’t get hate mail and illogical mail, then you don’t have enough people paying attention.

It doesn’t mean a damned thing, even though some will do their best to make you feel bad. Just remember, they don’t know who you really are – to them, you are just a symbol that they don’t like, not a human being.

The one you listed on this thread was actually pretty mild as these things go. The only odd thing was the “radical right” characterization – so completely absurd as to be weird. Clearly you were being relatively gently assaulted by a moonbat of some species.
