I agree with all the above, but I'm not sure that professional footballers/managers and other celebrities with huge incomes are the best examples of on-line abuse victims. Take Bruce, for example. When he was sacked (or rather 'left by mutual consent'... ) he received an £8 million golden handshake. I'd put up with a fair bit of abuse for that.Social media pressure on football bosses is "out of control", says Inter Miami coach Phil Neville.
His former Manchester United team-mate and current boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has faced a storm of criticism after Sunday's 5-0 home defeat by Liverpool.
It is looking increasingly likely the Norwegian will remain in charge for Saturday's game at Tottenham.
But Neville said: "Social media is an absolute cesspit for people that are just the lowest of the lowest."
He added: "We live in an era where it's seen as quite normal to ask people to be sacked, which I find absolutely incredible. If you were any other workplace and you walked into a shop and you said, 'I want you to be sacked', I think you would be reported to the police.
"People don't probably realise that the things they are writing hurt families, hurt human beings, people that have problems in their lives, and nothing gets done about it."

Another former United team-mate, Steve Bruce, said the abuse he faced as Newcastle manager 'took a toll on his whole family' after he left the club last week.
Neville added: "The Steve Bruce case went beyond criticism. That was a form of bullying, disgusting behaviour, trolling, some of the most disgusting things I have ever read or seen in my whole life."
And celebrities court social media for all sorts of reasons, mostly to do with self-promotion - as ye sow, so shall ye reap...
if you don't look at it, then there really is no problem.
