(Newser) – Critics in cyberspace can stay incognito, which makes them especially nasty. Radar lists the 10 most-scorned players on the web:

  1. Lori Drew: Her comments on a MySpace account drove a 13-year-old girl to suicide.
  2. John Fitzgerald Page: An online dater whose cruel remarks got world-wide coverage.
  3. Julia Allison: A sassy sex columnist who worked the web for a 6-figure gig.

  1. David Motari: The Marine who flung a puppy off an Iraqi cliff.
  2. Laurel Touby: Many envy the boa-sporting Mediabistro founder.
  3. The cast of NBC’s online drama Quarterlife: a 'vanilla group of twentysomethings in captivity,' one critic quipped.
