Unfortunately they have the 3 characteristics that malicious commenters look for the most
- They are girls ( the saddest thing is when it's girls hating girls )
- They are successful ( haters magnet )
- They were involved ( although indirectly ) in an scandal
This don't justify by any means what is happening but it does typify it and , again unfortunately, it's no going to stop soon.

Hopefully the agency do what they say and pursue through the courts those making vile and malicious comments, and if found guilty their identities and what they posted should be publicised. I don't care what the group is some of the comments made are totally unacceptable and those making them need to be identified and punished.
