While the same type of hate talk shouldn't be imitated, speaking out on related issues is just a given when you're a writer, so I'm pretty sure you can forget about people just letting it go. Beside, no one seems to be letting go of hateful remarks about President Obama. I was instantly pissed at a few statements I noticed people left for him, even though I refrained from calling them out. Why bother, because that won't make it stop, just like this story won't stop the trolls either. We know the drill. Haters, gonna hate! :-)
