What you're missing is that your rage is very selective.
Michael Mann has used unknown backers to sue National Review and Mark Steyn, and has managed to draw the lawsuit out for over 6 years with no end in sight.
He gets almost no bad press over this fact.
There was nothing unprecedented about Thiel's behaviour. It's quite common. Gawker just had particularly bad behaviour, yet for some reason it felt invincible.
