Man I NEVER really block people on FA unless they're really bad, but I blocked like 5 people from that Miupix pricing debacle on FA. After thinking on it, I just didn't want to accidentally socialize with the people who were running around saying art isn't a 'real job' and people should be charging crap because they said so.
I'm not sure why this particular incident rubbed me the wrong way so bad. I don't even know Miu and price wank is common. I think it was because this was particularly nasty, and then I looked at Miu's twitter and he was just so hurt by it. Poor guy.
That said, I have NO DOUBTS that his slots got taken in the end by people who were smart enough to not comment to say so so they didn't risk abuse by angry, entitled children. Hopefully the hundreds of dollars he raked in and the people who will be happy to have his art will make him feel better, nobody deserved that kind of vitriol.
