Crapping on people isnt a totally negative thing either though. Some truths can be lost if people are always afraid to be negative, and one mans crap is anothers fertilizer.
For sure it may not be the best of human nature, but it is real and companies and individuals who want to embrace the new open communication methods of the net, should learn to live with being crapped on, and if at all possible come to see it as something positive. Respect is a strange concept, and the internet shines light on this, on the gulf that often exists between the respect people think they deserve, and what they actually get. Companies feeling they're getting no respect from those they are trying to help, others feeling like the company doesnt respect them because of the way it went about such and such. Not fun, but not necessarily unconstructive either.
