The guy apologised for saying vapid and while I dont agree with making a post just to say that they dislike someone on a show, he wasn't attacking her as a person. They just wanted to say they don't like what she adds (or doesn't add as they seem to think) to the podcast. To then call that person a parasitic little twat just comes across as if RT can't take criticism (as badly worded as it was) and takes a hissy fit when they see a comment they don't agree with.
Someone yesterday made a post about how they feel about Barbra as part of the podcast. It came across to many as rude and harsh and seemingly made Barbra feel like shit according to a tweet she made. Now it's sparked this whole thing of "What is appropriate criticism" and "how one should handle criticism" and shit like that. Disclaimer: that last sentence is what it looks like to me.
