>Caroline Criado Perez was not complaining about one or two people sending a few dozens of messages that were a bit mean.

Yeah she was:

If you dig, you find that she's an aggressive jerk, and that's why she's a hate magnet. In a different political context, she'd be the "troll." Same for the person she's arguing with. I don't lump Kathy Sierra in this category, but there's a reason some people always find themselves in the middle of a shitstorm.

>I find it fucking baffling that you chose to defend those people, the people saying stuff like that, at the cost of their victims.

See, this is the thing. You see very, very few people defending that. But everybody who doesn't agree with banning vehement disagreement gets attributed that opinion. Every time. The same thing is happening with the so-called gamergate.
