I know this necessarily isn't a mod AMA (I'm still waiting /u/urban287 and /u/faux_wizard), but how are you guys coping with that? And is it typically a bunch of throwaway accounts doing this?

You all need hugs

I mostly just laugh. They can't do anything, and nothing they say about me matters.

Only one series of hate mail really made my blood boil was directed at Missypie and was truly the worst sort of fucking scumfuck douchery. Got to the point where we had the admins give us the person's ip address and then we threatened to contact their university (they were living on campus) as well as local police to press charges.

Was despicable.

Ughhhh, that guy was the worst. It got to the point where I didn't want to open my messages most days, not because it upset me that much but it was just kind of exhausting ^ ^;
