We know that Twitter is a forum rife with negativity, just as surely as we know that Xbox Live or playstation network contains the same. But it's still sobering to look at the kind of venom that was spewed in the direction of Robert Bowling, who recently resigned as the public face and "creative strategist" of lead Call of Duty development studio, Infinity Ward.
Here are some of the nastiest messages Bowling (@fourzerotwo) received on his Twitter count after he resigned, as gathered by a member of the NeoGAF message board:

@fourzerotwo Today I go out buy a sniper rifle kill you and your family sell you're body to a convicted rapist that is also a necropheliac!
Robert Bowling was paid, in part, to Tweet and keep Call of Duty gamers informed about what was going on. Most of the time he told them about new content, tweaks to the game and fielded fan questions.
Let's give Bowling the last word.
