Can't say I disagree with OP in the sense that regardless of his article, Gio is still a disliked figure by people in the community who'd rather see him stop getting involved. It's not unreasonable to expect a community to not want to interact with people who cause problems. I don't think they or Bambosh were treated very fairly but it's not like that gives him a shield from everything else that people might have against him, including whatever unnecessarily inflammatory things he might've put in the article. For better or worse that's just how fandoms go a lot of the time.
