If, maybe, you're okay with being treated badly, just so other people can see your words, that's obviously your prerogative. It's not mine. I'm one of over 7 billion people on this planet, and I know my words aren't so important that everybody must read them.
My words can entertain. To be entertained, all you have to do is cough up 3 bucks. If you're too tight for that, get your entertainment elsewhere. Go down the street and watch a mime.
For me, there's no fundamental difference between the past, and now. It's a different direction into the same black hole.

The key response to being treated poorly is finding ways to fight back. I'll admit that I don't care enough about people's opinions to harp on the "attacked for my views" thing. Who cares? Say what you think.
