Wow, what an indepth analogy that is true in the micro/macro/virtual 'cosms.
As for the negativity, we can minimizing it by not giving it power. You do not give offense, you take it.
So, while being hateful will always exist, by not giving that hate power on the receiving end it remains benign.
I definitely agree with minimizing hate on the receiving end. This is something I think that is extremely important to remember. A lot of hate can be reversed with love, or sometimes humor.
