bang on really - all a little bit harsh isn't it?...
Possibly after witnessing the cyber-monstering dished out to young Max Gogarty, 19, for the heinous crime of going travelling and agreeing to write about it for a travel website.
Guardian should be criticised really. Mind you saying that - at least he's going travelling - better than being a keyboard warrior isn't it, I thought many of you laughing here were meant to hate?
