Theres something about this story that just doesn't sit right with me. Why would a 17 year old go through so much trouble to harass someone just for the heck of it? The guy had to have done something to the kid. Normal people don't spend hours of their lives to harass a single person for no reason.

I call bullshit.

The son had become engrossed with conspiracy sites - the ones that blame jews/zionists/everyone for all the ills on the planet, and was a shutin, unable to attach a human face with the victim of his trolling attempts.

I admire the author for his actions, I hope the Troll will take a good lesson from it all.

It's called trolling, and it's a well known and written about phenomenon. There doesn't even have to be a reason.
