It was also the scene of some of the most full-on networking I’ve ever seen - at one point the speed at which Moo cards were being handed out made me wonder if they were going to search your bag at the end of the night, and dispose...

Internet hate, trollage and bitching is something we're all very familiar with. On a small level, each of us deals with it on a daily basis. A shitty email, a snarky reply on Twitter, a snub on Facebook... And then there are people who deal with mass amounts of hatred online.
