I've seen a lot of hate directed at heteros online the last three years. 
I've seen it directed at me from people who don't even know me.  I've
watched a dissident lesbian (who had never been married) come into my
wife's little online married-lesbians fiefdom and criticized the way they
treated their husbands and talked about their husbands' problems, sorrows
and discomfort with great glee.  I wish I knew who she was -- she's
probably be a good friend.  For all I know she might be already.  My wife's
little club was traumatized for weeks after the dissident's appearance. 
The described her as horribly hateful and abusive.

I've also seen earthycrunchycranolaearthgoddess lesbians sneer at butchy
dykes, and I've seen it returned in kind.

There's a lot of intolerance to go around, Gregg.
