Reply to: Internet troll jailed for 18 weeks

the type of **** who would have no qualms about putting a cat in a washing machine

Well fair do's if it has been in your wheelie bin all day!! That happens you know.

[xoggoth]

The washing machine! That's an idea if I can catch the little buggers.

Some of the sites he defaced were public pages of remembrance. In some cases he would make fake profiles of the people who died and post on these sites and go onto message friends and family of the deceased.

The guy deserves to be hung in all honesty, he has quite clearly demonstrated his complete lack of moral fibre, this is the type of **** who would have no qualms about putting a cat in a washing machine for lulz, etc.

You need to have a serious screw loose to derive such enjoyment from causing human suffering.

How do you know that he'd have no qualms about putting a cat in a washing machine?

If in doubt then make it up, eh?

Ah - I didn't realise all of that.

Agreed.

Whilst he is clearly a total buttmunch, I do not for the life of me understand how people can set up pages personal or group pages and not have strict privacy controls. It seems totally bonkers to me. He shouldn't have had access to those facebook pages at all.

Ahhh, is that the same as NASA and DARPA having crap passwords/weak security on their systems... ...and people looking for evidence of aliens...

I was curious about what offence he'd actually commited.

Think it's covered by this:

Communications Offences: Legal Guidance: The Crown Prosecution Service

[mudskipper]

Human rights groups have criticised the Duffy case, saying it criminalises being an asocial f**knut

Nail. Head.

The Daily Mash

AS a man was jailed for internet abuse, everyone with a computer has spent the last 12 hours frantically deleting as much as they possibly can.

Is he on here?

Wayne Hayes, an IT consultant and member of 182 sites under the pseudonym 'Sheeple69'

The Daily Mash - Uh-oh, says everyone on internet

Meanwhile MySpace said it welcomed any abusive messages people wish to post on its site, just so they have a reason to leave the bloody thing switched on.

18 weeks does seem a little excessive when GBH might only get you 12 if you get locked up at all.

[mudskipper]

Saw a chap last week, he wasn't very tall but he had this huge head and very wide build with huge muscled arms covered in tattoos, looked just like some character in an online war game. Maybe there is something they are catching from being online too much. I always did reckon it would only be a matter of time before computer viruses started affecting people.

That sounds like a plot for a novel.

[xoggoth]

Is his head somehow disproportionately large for his body?

Is this guy any different than the likes of Frankie Boyle? I believe Jimmy Carr had a bit of an issue with a tweet he made about 9/11. Chubby Brown has made a career out of this sort of thing.

I suspect we have all made a bad taste joke or two too.

Should he really be going to prison for this?

WHS

The scene at the beginning of the Wizard of Oz where Dorothy lands her house on the Wicked Witch of the West and then the whole town bursts out in 'Oh yes the witch is dead' while dancing on her grave is just pre-internet trolling. I don't think the Wicked Witch of the East was too happy but should she have kidnapped Dorothy and imprisoned her? No.

Over the top in my opinion.
