What is actually baffling with this whole affair is that all responsible parties just added insult to the injury: it isn't really surprising to have dirty deals, unpleasants incidents behind the scenes, but making it publicly and even pushing it is just disgusting.
Frankly, we still have no idea who is the "culprit", but some people really digged their grave big time, particularly Terashima who just couldn't stop making fun of Ichiki the whole frigging time, even if the latter managed the break the ice by pulling a calm "I will never forgive you" at the end of the event. If that wasn't enough, his comments during the kokoro connect radio segment just confirms the impression he -really- enjoyed that. Likewise, that member of Eufonius made that comment completely out of the line: I mean, he isn't even involved in the seiyuu industry, is he? That was more than just beating the dead horse, that is flat out malicious. The seiyuu industry is already too much of a "survival to the fittest", so having such kind of public incident is really beyond bad taste. That's even more disturbing when you consider the fact that Japanese arguably don't like public humiliation (save if the broadcasted program has the said purpose: usual silly mini games etc).

Yeah and I heard some bunch of nuts trying to firehose her Twitter account with spam. Amazing, and I thought this only happens in mainstream entertainment (we call this as "crab mentality", that is, a loser maliciously dragging down a successful person). From what was described, it's a complete shitstorm, and unless a public apology is issued (and some Japanese are supposed to do this if they screw up), the backlash will damage the reputations of everyone else involved. BTW, I recognize Ichiki -- he's Yuuki Fukuzawa.

And so it begins, the greatest shitstorm of our time.
It's often things like this that bring out the true colors of our idols... and this also teaches the parties involved about dealing with people who act like this behind the camera. They, especially KitaEri, are lucky. If the Hell Correspondence really existed, one of them would be sent straight to Hell.

Because she's rumoured to be producer Yamanaka's favourite (or in 2ch's own words: his slut). She apparently gets frequently casted in his shows and he retweets her on twitter and etc. That's roughly the gist of what I managed to find.

Well, you know how it is. Nothing new with internet anons doing things like this. The sad thing is that we can't really do anything about it until the flames died out by itself, at which point the casualties would well fall beyond the original intended targets.

I wasn't there when it happened, but to my understanding..
The Kitamura Eri thing is actually actually someone using the whole situation and using it to grief Kitamura Eri and since some people who are experiencing mob mentality don't bother to verify information, they follow along why Kitamura Eri? someone who is unrelated to Kokoro Connect scandal you say? because someone doesn't like Kitamura Eri very much, and it has only gotten worse after Madoka aired. Don't bother trying to explain internet hate.

EDIT: Wow, I left out the T in Takuma's name while bold-tagging it, and it read as "akuma" for a split second. o.o

You don't even need Sankaku to blow it out of proportion. What I have seen on 4chan is more than enough. Sankaku will look like slowpoke and Arte TV (the typical cultural channel) in comparison.
