I'm no Vettel fan, but I would never boo someone in the way he is getting treated. It's psychologically damaging (perhaps the booers are deliberately trying to injure him in that way - what nice people they must be), esp. to someone of Vettel's age (mid 20's). We have enough news stories of people being bullied (yes, this is a form of bullying) and taking drastic steps, and whilst that would be far from Vettel's mind, however much someone earns, however pleasant their life may be, they can be hurt by bullying. It's insidious. At first you brush it off, but it creeps in, and slowly starts affecting you subconsciously. For those of you with children, imagine them playing their sport, and at the end of the game or match or race, they get boo'ed, even when they have done really well. Every time.

Is that really a good thing? For children of any age?

Sorry, booing is not a form of peaceful protest. It's a nasty unpleasant act that anyway with any shred of decency would avoid like the plague.
