To be fair, there was definitively shitty stuff done and said by H/Hr's pre-HBP as well. I'm mostly annoyed when people tend to gloss over the things done on the side that turned out to be right. Many H/Hr-shippers had difficulties debating on the mugglenet forums simply because they got hounded more by the moderators on lesser infractions than R/Hrs. There was some modbias there, and well mugglenet in general was probably the most biased site I've ever seen that still dared calling itself a general site.
For Pete's sake, they even edited official pictures that didn't look "canon" enough for them to have as their layout. When they felt a need to edit pictures which had Harry and Hermione standing close together to have it be Ron and Hermione, that's when I honestly stopped caring.
There's probably way more sane R/Hr's out there (think I have a couple of more on my flist) but they probably stay away from the mess. They'd probably be "accused" of being H/Hr if they protested so why bother?
