“I have some idea that if I pick on [boy band] One Direction, I'll get a ton of hate mail, because I know that when you're 15, you love a band like you will kill people. But I don't quite realize that that's true about people - adults - who read The Hunger Games.” PeopleIfsKnowsIdeasHateGamesRealizingBoysLike YouBandPicksAdultsHungerMailOne DirectionBoy BandsHate Mail Author:Joel Stein
“When I get real big volumes of hate mail, it's usually because I wrote something poorly. But it's also because some group told people to e-mail me and those people didn't read the article, they read the post about what I wrote about. And they all e-mail me. And they all come around at the same time.” PeopleRealBigsHateGroupsPostsArticlesMailVolumeOld PeopleGet RealHate Mail Author:Joel Stein
“I've learned over time that every editor has told me when you're getting that much hate, you don't talk about it. You just kind of don't give it oxygen and let it go away. It's almost - not always, but almost - always the best policy.” GivingKindHatePolicyI've LearnedGoing AwayEditorsHate YouOxygenLet It Go Author:Joel Stein
