I could say that an artist or public figure should put their work out there with the knowledge that some or everyone might hate it and that they should take the bad along with the good, but you might respond by telling me that I wouldn't know how I'd feel until I was in that man's shoes. I could say that in principle we shouldn't abandon a forum because we don't like what's being said that and you could say it's easier to talk about a principle that to abide by it.I have stood my ground on online forums where I felt I was in the right when I was universally hated but nothing of the magnitude of what the director of Death Note had to deal with, but that said, I think it was a terrible film.
