Online bullying and abuse is rife and disgusting. I am often astounded by the things people write, you know darn well they would never have the courage to say it in person. A couple of pages I am on they take it very seriously, thankfully. The main photography one I follow, the woman has copped some ridiculous stuff. Jealousy and ridiculous religious views cause a lot of it!
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!

Personally I don't get the banning music stuff. If I hear a Gary Glitter song, I don't react by getting heated about what he did, I just listen to the song and enjoy it or not depending what it is. Same for Jacko. I was never a big fan, not my thing, but if it was played it wouldn't fuss me.
But, you're 100% correct in that it's no moral stance by radio stations, it's all about money. If they think enough people will change stations if they keep playing MJ's songs, they'll stop playing them. At least until the heat dies down.
FFS, Bill Wyman of the Strolling Bones was rooting a 14 year old in the early 80's, have we banned playing their songs? (he did marry her once she was 18 FWIW)

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
