I'm all for a little bit of winding people up but really, people who do this sort of thing must have something wrong with them. Reacting to something someone says is one thing, but to hunt people down and abuse them seems mad to me.
No idea where his life was going but a criminal record isn't going to help him on many of the paths he may have been considering. Don't have any sympathy for him at all. Complete muppet.

My nephew has Aspergers and whilst he can say and do slightly odd things sometimes, he's a lovely boy, so to blame such behaviour on Aspergers seems a little disingenuous to me and is very unfair to people who really are afflicted.

If it wasn't for the fact I think this particular bloke has some serious mental issues I'd say give him the beating of his life and we can all leave sick messages about that.
I cannot begin to imagine how this affects the victims families, I really feel sad for them, loss is bad enough without this ****.
the report refers to trolling as "abuse of the dead". Thats complete bull.
He still sounds like a scumbag though.

There's gonna a lot of trolling of his picture now.
Which is brilliant, with enough coverage he'll never get a job, or girlfriend. His own tool of misery will be the very thing which destroys him muahahahaha justice!
this report seems to take a far more balanced and informed view http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-14898564 it raises an interesting social/ethical issue in that certain groups feel that anonymous internet access should be banned, all posting should be through a true identity.
I dont believe that loss of anonymity is a price worth paying to prevent this kind of behaviour. Perhaps anonymity is only appropriate in certain online 'places' whereas in others, such as FaceBook, it should be based on identity. Just the task of providing authenticated online identity is itself full of difficulty.
I'm not at all sure that I would try to prevent such a person from getting a job, I dont think that would help. Sure, a person should be punished if necessary but I dont agree with removing a persons means to improve.

It cant be defended, no way around it he's a wasteful excuse of human flesh.
If he'd mocked a religion or a someones sexuality then as distastful as it is it would be it could at least be argued as been a poor way of convaying opinion.
But to disrespect someones dead child for nothing more than his own amusement... he should be forced to stand b0ll0ck deep in a fire ants nest.
Prison wont fix this cretin, but the ar5e rape may teach him a lesson.
NB Flymo, I know you werent defending him btw, I agree with your thinking regarding anon posts.

I think it's quite good that they're getting a bit innovative with the sentencing....
As well as jail he is banned from joining any social networking site for a number of years. He's also banned from using any device which can access the internet without police supervision.......
So that rules out all computers, most mobile phones, ipods, a number of televisions, games consoles etc etc. Plus anything that they decide to put web access in next....certain brands of cars? Thats going to have quite a big impact on his life....

In effect, he's screwed. The guy has Aspergers Syndrome, so he will pretty likely be one of those for whom a strict routine is an essential part of their daily life. Upset that routine and they are utterly unmanageable. No doubt his internet use and using modern technology is a part of his daily routine.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry

Just read the report and I've not seen much bad behavior on the forums I frequent. Perhaps its because they are smaller and with decent members & mods. So to the mods who give up their time thanks.
aahhhh. so now we know who Dangerous Dave is.
Twitter has reported that its traffic is already down by 65% following the conviction and is now just Stephen Fry being immensely proud of Hugh Laurie.
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.
