Bullying and child abuse hit too close to home for most people, myself included (well, the first one, anyway). Call us obsessive, but we simply don't like seeing these things made sport of whether or not the characters and settings are real.

As for NSL? Punishing a character for wrongdoing is one thing, yes. But if the punishment is disproportionate, which it was here, then something is intolerably wrong. Some simply won't be content sitting back and blindly accepting it; they're going to react accordingly. Kind of a "put yourself in their place" deal, if you will. Just saying.
