I'm actually Mormon, which is not traditional Christianity in any sense (a lot of the regular Christian world labels us as 'non-Christian'), and I think our leaders endorsed the death penalty, though I don't remember the exact rationale behind it. I just remember hearing it some years ago, when I was a teenager.

You do make a lot of good points here, actually. It's still sad, but I guess the psychos out there also do it in reverse. Like all the conservative smear machine rumors about Jews controlling the media, or how people think all Muslims are terrorists. It's sad, and it shouldn't happen, but it still does.

I can see that people feel like they're the minority in America. Especially in fandom, which is kind of a gathering place for people who have been "the outcasts" in some way in their lives. We're the nerds and the geeks, band students, drama kids, the weird people in school who never made the popular crowd. A friend of mine and I were talking about this, actually, and it seems to run along the same lines. Fandom members are used to being outcast and laughed at and having no real way to strike back IRL, because it's just kids being cruel to each other, and what can you do when you're a kid? But on the internet, words have power, and it's very easy to strike back when you feel cornered and threatened, or even just to pre-emptively do so. It's kind of a double-edged sword.
