The site may well be engaging in personal attacks - I don't go to that site so I don't know. Two thoughts come to mind. One is that personal attacks are not the way to go. Second is that if Hinman is talking about the site attacking family, then my first thought is that he is referring to Brian J. Smith's mother, Sherry, who has offered plenty of provocation.
Sherry has (apparently) been a regular commenter on Joe M's blog and is highly critical of any negative comments about SGU. She's also very active in the same manner on Twitter. There also seems to be a connection between her and Gateworld's recent crackdown on any negative comments about SGU in the forums.
As she explains in detail, she went to Gateworld and was displeased to see "a group of people voicing their "opinion" about why Stargate Universe is not what they want." She contacted the owners of Gateworld "were unable to explain to me why they continued to allow this "minority" to continue to ruin what these two individuals have worked hard to build". Right about then came the the new rule.
Oh, and did you know that folks who don't like SGU are suffering from a false sense of entitlement, are the same as welfare cheats working the system. They are also incapable of success and "they could never act, write, produce or even sweep the floors for SGU. ".
So, if SGUsucks is poking at Sherry, I can understand why they are, even if I think it would be best to ignore her.
