Not an option you get when you take on a leadership role. I don't get just hide under my desk when someone on my team gets into an argument with someone else in the org and it has progressed beyond lively debate. If you are the leader and public face of a publication, this is doubly true. Triply so when you lead an organization that is "... controversial and sometimes combative, but always driving towards a conclusion." This is what you signed up for.
There will always be torches and pitchforks, that's the internet. If there aren't, nobody is visiting your site.
