I know good FReepers who are no longer actively posting because of the hostility, mockery, and derision directed at them for posting something they think it important and others are interested in.

Make light of the hostility, mockery and derision! Some people just feel the need to tear others down because the evil side of our nature often gives us a little pleasure from doing it. I guess we think we advance our own self worth by diminishing that of others. We should all resist these impulses.
