True tale of confronting a troll

[FindingNamo]

The Jew-baiting made me think of Jim Colyer, White Supremacist.
The day I confronted my troll

[Playbilly]

Thanks Namo. I've sent it around.

[tazber]

That was awesome.

Thanks for sharing.

[Mister Matt]

Wonderful article. Posted it to Facebook. Everyone should read it.

Wow.

But somehow, I don't think the major trolls here are children.

Honestly, I would have prosecuted. This guy was a better human than me.

[Plum]

Well, it was the child of a friend, not some random stranger, which made the rapprochement a lot easier IMO.

[StockardFan]

Wow. That kid definitely needs psychological help.

"it was just a game thing" Isn't that a variant of the whine of every caught rugrat "We wuz jut havin F U N!"

Thanks for reminding me why I never wanted childern.

[TheatreDiva90016]

I don't get how sending someone an ash filled lunch box, or death threats are a game.

[artscallion]

I would have had the kid arrested. Some of the things he did cross the line from teenager with problems to phsyco dangerous threat.

I agree with Stockard that psychoanalysis would be the way to go. I thought trolling was considered something related to possible mental illness anyway? Honestly it is probably the easiest form of manipulation for psychopaths and sociopaths. Never having to leave their living space and they never had to meet their targets and likewise- except in this situation.

Doesn't the UK have serious laws, serious as in far harsher than anything in America, related to attacking people on the internet?

Indeed, this guy is far more charitable than I would have been.

I would've conspired with the parents to give him a taste of his own medicine.

Like in a sitcom!

Let's hope Ryan Murphy re-tells this story on one of his shows
