LOL... I have no problem with trolls whatsoever... merely posting it as a sort of "public service announcement". That times are changing and that laws are catching up to online comments.

Would hate to see fellow BFs get charged!

He brought it on himself for being an unfunny comedian is what I would have said if I was those types of people who seem to always find an excuse for scumbags and their trashy behaviours.

There is a thread over at SC board about trolls and people defending a trolls right to troll because those that are trolled bring it on themselves.

I dunno tbh.
