Let's clearly label this for what it is - on one side, a bunch of raving psychopath sockpuppeteers who run abusive hate sites. On the other side, some regular strength sockpuppeteers.

Unsurprisingly, the Register, being, you know, the Register has long come down on the side of the raving psychopaths.
