Troll jailed

OK this man is depraved and he deserved to be punished, but AIBU to think prison is a bit far? Then again, MN trolls take note. There are consequences if you cross the line.

I havent read the thread, however I am smiling inside at the irony of Spiderpig getting all worked up over an internet troll - pot and kettle much??

Oh good god, I just read a Daily Mail link about this story

Now I feel like I need to wash my eyes out with bleach.

Jesus, what a vile individual.

Aspergers or no, if he had the intelligence to do what he did, he's clever enough to know how wrong it was.

And I speak as the ex wife of someone with Aspergers who is a bastard (they're not mutually exclusive).

I think it was right to send him to jail. It should have been for longer. It will serve as a warning to other bastards who post sick and nasty comments. Some of the posters on moneysaving expert spring to mind.
