Will check facebook and twitter, and best of luck for the shop.

Agree with noticing a different trend on the forum. Just my opinion, but it appeared to me that the general attitude was fairly aggressive for a while. Not sure whether it was related to any topics in particular, or just a sign of difficult times for many people, or what do I know. I occasionally 'hang out online' here, on bike forums, and rbr - and the whole online environment gives me the impression that group dynamics and online interactions are becoming less courteous, much less tolerant, and sometimes cross the line onto aggressive and even inappropriate.
TE seemed like a courteous and friendly place at first, and I hope the majority will try to keep it that way.

Either way, I am sorry to hear that you received ugly personal messages. It seems very childish to attack someone online by sending them nasty messages, and I hope that those are just isolated incidents.
The only suggestion I can offer to you is to not let a few aggressive or rude people discourage you from communicating online here or elsewhere. As a shop owner you definitely have much knowledge and advice to offer, and despite the few who do not appreciate it - many people would benefit from it and be very grateful to you. For one, I always enjoyed reading your messages, and I'm sure I will enjoy following your stories on Facebook.

Good luck!
