A Shift in Sentiment

- Comments directed at him have included personal attacks.

According to Mrs. Gilbert, many are surprised by his opinions, which resonate with what many think but hesitate to voice. “In these days where people are easily offended, sometimes people are quite surprised,” she noted. She referred to the negative comments as generated by “keyboard warriors,” who began their attacks as soon as George was announced as one of four new housemates.
