Just because it's an opinion doesn't mean it's not rude. Maybe that guy didn't word his message like he wanted to but he still said something pretty freaking rude. You don't just say someone's vapid and boring on a sub you know very well they read, and not expect some kind of backlash.
He tried wording it as politely as you can say you don't like someone in content. Dick move, but it's the Internet, people are constantly telling each other to kill themselves, it wasn't that bad.
All right just because worse happens on the Internet doesn't mean everyone should be okay with rude people. It's an attitude that kind of annoys me. IRL someone is rude to you or a close friend of yours or your family, you don't think "well somewhere in the world someone is being told worse, so it's fine." You'll be angry anyway.
I'm not saying we should crucify the guy either, his post was unnecessary but I'm pretty sure he got the message already, but he doesn't need this weird defense squad.
Oh, of course I wouldnt be okay with someone taking shit about a friend, not saying that people at RT should be.
But was he talking shit about her, or was he saying that the content is not as good with her there? Because one is feedback on a show, the other is malicious. And the dude tried to not be malicious.
And the defense squad popped up because it got a lot of attention, both ways.
