It's hard sometimes to understand the people who are perpetually ticked off by ... well, let's be honest ... anything that doesn't fit their worldview and/or might make someone else happy.
When your entire personality is built around attacking other people, you shouldn't be surprised when others attack back or completely ignore you because they don't want to deal with your vitriol.
I mean, if you look at something innocuous and you feel compelled to cause trouble because you're maybe a little bored, perhaps the problem is you, not someone or something else.
Probably every columnist has trolls/persistent critics. Sometimes those critics just fire off endless emails. Sometimes they're the ones who spend the bulk of their time squatting in newspaper comments sections, presumably because they have nothing better to do and think that the privilege of abusing writers is part of the purchase price of their subscription.
