A couple of related links that came through my inbox this morning:
My name is Darren Rowse and I’m a full time Blogger making a living from this new and dynamic medium from blogs like Digital Photography School and TwiTip - Twitter Tips.
Back in 2002 I stumbled upon an article about ‘Blogging’. I didn’t know it at the time but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full time blogger and have blogged on over 20 blogs and co-founded the b5media blog network.

Snarkiness I can live with. It’s usually someone just trying to get attention and more times than not there’s no real harm done.
Hate OTOH is unsettling and as you know, it can be downright dangerous. I’ve experienced it directed towards me in the past and there has been a lot of personal (public) damage done.
A lot of it has to do with the web being a somewhat anonymous medium where people sitting in front of a computer screen feel powerful in knowing that no matter who they are, their words have an impact, whether positive or negative.
It’s the cases where that hate migrates offline where physical harm can be done that are the scariest.
