I realize this is not the point, but the number of grammatical and spelling errors in all of those emails and tweets is sublime.
I think it goes to how ridiculous the whole post is. Who thinks you can actually reason with someone that says things like this:
what a shill… u are just ordinary…..fukin Moron….I don’t even like Trump.. But u r the worst kind of hypocrite…I have never e-mailed a site like this..but u are what is wrong with the thinking, or lack thereof,, in the media….I will curse your site and ur name every chance I have…..Sell out mother fucker
Sure, that person is going to read his plea, and think, "huh, he's got a point."
You have created this audience, Erickson. You made then, you taught them how to engage in dialogue, and while I don't agree with death threats, when it comes to the general vitriol, you reap what you sow.

Agreed. I also think this is like Trump having a hissy fit over Megyn Kelly using his own words against him, or Rupert Murdoch being mad about Trump being a total dick and being promoted by Fox News. You can't create an environment of vitriol designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator and then be mad when the lowest common denominator actually shows up.
What's really quite remarkable about it is how there is just zero evidence that this guy has engaged in a modicum of self-reflection. I love how it is all everyone else's fault. Dude, people who enjoy reading things like "Hilary is homely and slept her way to the top" are assholes. Duh.
I have never really know true Schadenfreude until now. Watching the ringleaders lose control of their circus. Damn, so satisfying.
