what on earth is wrong with someone like that? I can't imagine what kinda of sicko you have to be to target families in grief, he got what he deserved

enough suffering in the world without people adding to it for their own jollies.

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.
