It's the outright meanness that I don't understand.

So while it is outright meanness it is understandable. KL, has for better or worse, made herself a fairly easy target for this behavior. People who are down on themselves feel better by attacking KL. It's a sick side of human nature, and there is a lot of it here. While I feel pretty awful for KL, I gotta keep out of it all. It's too messy.
The behavior seen though, I get. The internet is actually the ideal domain for this behavior. You can really attack someone visciously on.the internet without fear of getting your windpipe busted. In reality, this type of behavior has a huge risk, the internet removes all risk.
