You're right. This is out-and-out bullying, and shouldn't be condoned, even if Matt Inman and his supporters are claiming that it's 'funny'. It's one thing to disagree with the interpretation of a joke that you tell (even if it's completely tasteless, as Inman's was); it's another to tell his followers where to find the dissenters and harass them. The sad thing is that I actually liked many of Inman's comics, like his grammar-advice ones, but some of the jokes he's making are just plain unfunny, as are his insensitive responses to people who call him out on his, well, unfunny jokes.
