WikiHate is a counterproductive attitude that takes away time from many Wikipedians. Often the consequence of taking both Wikipedia and oneself too seriously, it can express itself in revert wars, hate campaigns against individual Wikipedians or fierce crusades for one's own opinion of what everybody else should do. Its opposite is not WikiLove, since, as Elie Wiesel remarked, "The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference".

Do not blame the victim. There is nothing an editor could do to deserve personal attacks or threats, and never a reason for another editor to use personal attacks and threats.
