    Interesting that somebody who acts like your man has a term applied known as a "troll". What is the name for somebody who takes themself too seriously on internet bulletin boards? Also does anybody know the reason these people are called trolls?

    Let's see. Your a anonymous internet troll who is apparently quite good at it.

    You tell everybody who you are, what you did and give them a picture.

    You get prosecuted under a law that doesn't exist.

    You teach a valuable lesson to others.

    Not to talk to you

    Because your a moron.

    1. A large, brutish creature of European myth, often lacking in intelligence.

    2. A dumbass who makes idiotic posts in message boards newsgroups for the sole purpose of pissing people off, often lacking in intelligence.

    It seems to be the in thing.In the US some soldier's funeral was attended by hecklers with placards rejoicing at his demise.Simply to hurt a family they didn't even know.

    It's vicious and should be responded to with ruthlessly.

    It's also the sort of thing that gives authorities a legitimate reason to tighten internet controls, something we want to avoid.

    Maybe full internet access should require some kind of IQ test that people of Mr.Coss's ilk would most likely fail.Those in this category can still use the web but only to look at the pictures.

    Epic Spa! Hah!

    Can we start prosecuting trolls on boards?

    I mean they all feel persecuted when they get banned anyway and they're spelled pretty similiarly.

    It's a shame those Baptist **** in the U.S. who picketed soldier's funerals weren't given the same punishment as this guy. Comments can be removed and trolls can be banned from posting. These asshats have the right to abuse the families of dead soldiers and get away with it. Freedom of speech is complete bullshít sometimes.

    It does not exist in Ireland. Stop thinking that American laws apply here.

    I think it's better now that it is on the internet. It's far easier to identify paedophiles these days.


    As for this troll, he has been mislabelled.

    He's just an idiot.
    Christ, any mod here can search through the reported posts forums and find the same crap said about any dead entity.
    If we take the internet too seriously, then we would all end up in jail at some time.
    People take Facebook far too seriously. This person may have been a dick, but he doesn't deserve to be sent to jail. Stupid nanny state Britain is responsible for him being jailed.

    The world is full of people who will say things that you don't agree with. Sending those people to jail is overkill.


    I ****ed Jade Goody's corpse when it was fresh in the ground.
    I urge any Irish court to jail me for that comment.

    I've made the above comment on an internet forum.
    Under the rules of this forum I may be banned for a while.

    Should anyone try to jail me for the above comment, well, they have a long battle ahead of them.

    Once again, I'm not trolling here. I'm just being a complete and utter dickhead. Ahh, **** it. I'll finish this in the morning when I'm sober and have fed Maddie.

    Ah Jaysus Terry. If this had been a teenager acting the bollix, he might have got away with an "idiotic dickhead" defence. But it was a 36 yr old grown man, who posted on a site to remember a dead 4yr old, saying that he had sex with the kids dead body !!

    The world is full of people who will say things that you don't agree with. Sending those people to jail is overkill.

    The **** got away lightly.
