When Ellen Pao finally resigns after enduring weeks of this garbage, the top-voted commenter celebrating her departure is a troll with an account named for the Charleston shooter.

Emphasis mine. I have some difficulty imagining an Internet in the control of these insufferable fucks. They're like the Anti-Saloon League of our times.
