I thought they were relatively happy with President Obama's AMA.

Rachel seems to have made the mistake that too many who try this have in
the past - which is not reading over enough of the previous AMAs. I think
that community is actually relatively sane compared to most online
communities, but they are unforgiving, regardless of POV, of people who
refuse to take on all questions. I think even if the answer is something
like: "I don't want to answer that question because it will cause personal
embarrassment to me, or someone I know" can tone down the backlash. But to
just either identify questions that will not be answered or (probably
worse) just ignoring certain kinds of questions, drives those guys crazy. I
did not actually read the questions she did not answer, so maybe she did
try and they are just going after her anyway, but at first glance from the
responses it doesnt seem that way.
