Dwelling on it and making posts about how unfair it is never, ever changes the fact that it's going to fucking happen.
It's not the posts saying that it's unfair (and to be completely honest, the people that I've come across that have talked about it, have not once said it was about "Oh woe is me. Life is unfair. Internet why do you hate me?!") it's that people that they consider(ed) friends may or may not be saying pretty atrocious things about them. The not knowing? The trust issue... that's pretty heavy when a lot of people's interactions are based on these relationships.
It's easy to say don't care. Toughen up. Stiff upper lip it or gtfo, but man that break's hard when you've invested some good amount of time "getting to know" people and squeeing with them, etc.
It's going to happen. Yeah, it probably is. Everyday like you said. That doesn't mean that people have to like it. It also doesn't mean that people can't feel indignant about it. As for it being the nature of the beast (internet), well... that may be true too. Maybe the internet is naturally like that.
Again, that doesn't mean it doesn't suck and that doesn't mean that gtfo or hanging around and writing/reading fic or participating in fandom makes it any easier when you have no idea if the person squeeing with you is at the same time threading that you're a complete asshat with no imagination.
