Trolls who post “Your mom is gay” in a online message board are dime a dozen. On the internet everyone is faceless, so they’re emboldened to flame some annoying poster that gets on your nerves. You won’t approach a dejected bunch of female soccer players who just lost a game and say “You biotches got PWNED FTW” because you have to mind their vulnerability. In MySpace or anywhere online, you don’t have to.
Whether this should be crime if it leads to a loss of life, I don’t know. But if you create a fake persona to bully a target just for the sake of a certain reaction something needs to be done.
