Yeah, I totally lost it at that last line. Still, I don't understand how people with grievances think it's ok to vilify and hurt others. The solution to one's suffering shouldn't be found by spreading the pain.

Seeing hateful messages about you spread out to your neighbors must feel like an emotional knife to the heart no matter how famous or successful you are.

The worst part is they're vilifying people who have no other crime other than being successful. These are people that may very well actually agree with the goals of the protestors (e.g. according to the article Kevin Rose does agree that the rent problem and others need to be solved). Or they would, if the protestors would actually try to talk to these people instead of attacking them.

They often seem blind, deaf and dumb to facts. Which is probably more the reason for the predicament of some than someone else being successful.

On the whole, life is made better when people achieve things. They shouldn't be treated shabbily.
