Someone, with a lot more patience than me in putting together the unrepresented sources, has produced this superlative effort

and asks, with all the accusations of 'abuse' levelled, who is abusing who?
This really is an outstanding piece, complete with references and context - I highly recommend a read from everyone.
"The Corbyn supporters have flocked together and engaged in their own discourse to combat the prevailing propaganda. They have recognised what is happening and that it is wrong, although not always terming it and understanding it as abuse. They have informed themselves. They have expressed themselves. They have compared notes. They have disseminated alternative media and information. They have communicated with enough others to know that the smears aren’t true, that most supporters are ordinary people like them and that many others feel as they do. They have seen or heard enough from Corbyn to know that he is a peaceful and sensible person supporting views and policies that they want to be represented and carried out."
That's exactly how I experienced it
