What I've seen, personally, is an instance where someone has said, "I don't like RM, vote for so-and-so," and others have commented, "I don't know what's going on, but I voted against her anyway."
I saw this in the LJ Advisory Council elections, too - people acting badly and saying they were doing it 'for the lulz'.
I have no patience, time, or respect for that.
Again, I do get that there are people out there that have had negative interactions with RM, and people that she's had personal issues with. Welcome to the human condition! We don't all get along.
FWIW, while I've seen RM write about internet conflict, I have never seen her cry victim or say 'no one likes me because I'm popular', nor do I see a persecution complex.
