Totally agree, they should make a concerted effort in all cases but I don't this piece specifically eludes to in contrary to that :)

I think it's implied. There's a socially responsible side, and there's a bunch of reactionary harassers. Fox causes harm; the Guardian doesn't. So it's okay for the author to write a piece about how "morons" are crowdfunding an anti-Sarkeesian documentary, but I suspect that he'd see the same invective being bandied about regarding Sarkeesian supporters as encouraging harassment.

In these sorts of tribalistic affairs anyone from your side who does something reprehensible is an outlier, but anyone from the other side who does it is indicative of the whole. What's innocuous when you do it is often threatening when someone else does.
