This article was really sad. i felt really bad for the man. i can't really relate to what happened to him but i'm sure that would not be a very pleasant thing to have gone trough. i agree with how it was resolved because at least now his friends son will learn his lesson.

This article was so sad, I felt so bad for the man and his wife being attacked on cyber space like this .
It was a very childish thing to do at the age of 17.
You would think the TROLL would have known better since he is in university you would think he would be a mature student but obviously not.
I can relate to this because i have been hurt by words sent to me over the internet which were anonymous.
Nobody should ever have to experience that!

In my opinion this article is disgusting. I actually have no idea what drive people to do this to innocent people. It makes me feel sick that anyone could make someone feel like that and make them delete their twitter page because of it. I can relate to this because alot of my friends got some abuse on Ask.fm

Its really sick!!! What that ''troll'' did was a disgrace. If that abuse was given to me and I found out who it was I would break that persons jaw!! Thankfully I cannot relate to anything like this. I feel outraged by this and I believe the man should have went to the police.

This article makes me feel sick. That someone could be that disgusting towards this man, and the fact that he knew the person that was saying this stuff is even sicker. It turned my stomach to think a friend could do that to you. It shows us how easy this can happen to someone through different websites. No I can’t relate to this as this has never happened to me or anyone else I know. I do not agree with how it was resolved as I would have personally reported it to the guards as he could be doing this to some other person in the world.

This article made me feel sick to the stomach when reading it as the abuse the writer got was horrific.I can relate to this article as friends of mine have been abused over social networking sites before.Its horrible to think of how sick some people can be.The writer feared not only for himself but also for his family because of the abuse and threats from the troll.This just shows how heartless some people can be.I agree with how the writer solved this problem.He had the right to trace the troll as he feared his life and his families lifes were in danger.

The day I met my troll.

While reading the article I’d gasp throughout the abuse the man got. There was no obvious reason for abuse that could have been seen and resolved since everything yet was anonymous and coming from various technologies. The man had no clue that the young boy would have even a thought about being abused and threatened because of his religion.
This coming from a young guy’s mind has shocked me from what he has been able to think of.
The number of abuse in Ireland hasn’t changed in the matter of a few years.
I have been in situations of bullying and none have reached this amount of horror.
The man resolved it fairly from the parent’s point of view but not for him he was brutally abused and threatened but yet let the lad of with just a bit of social counselling.
In my point of view the whole situation would have been resolved differently.

No, i can relate to trolls but i can realate to that feeling you get in your tummy its a horrible feeling! When you go calmly onto your profile, and these anonymously nastey messages pop up! Your heart just starts racing as if you just ran 8miles. Or, if they say any of your secrets online or something, it can really accept someone. I think that trolls are pathetic from what i hear about them! They should also, grow up and stop hiding behind a computer screen. I would say that the troll is also nervous, about getting

This article makes me feel very bad as it was very unfair in what this troll was doing to the person. There was no reason for this troll to pick on a person that never did anything wrong to him. The troll was continuously threatening this man and his wife. This is not on and shouldn’t be aloud. I can relate to this as it happened to my friend.

I can relate to this because i am a teenager and i see my age people go through this often. Abusive messages posted online, spreading phone numbers, posting embarrassing photos and all sorts of horrible things.
Yes, i agree to how this incident was resolved, It was the best thing to do to stop it from going further and teaching the troll a lesson. The troll apologized so that was the first step of teaching him a lesson.

This article makes me feel sick! How can anyone in their own right mind, with a conscious, do this to another human being. Especially a 17 year old teenager in collage. This was a disgusting act to the poor man, actually to humanity!

Thank God i or my friends can not relate to him, but that doesn't mean i can't feel sympathy or understand his feelings.

I take my hat off to him for the way he dealt with the situation. If it were me i wouldn't be taking a kind approach.

This should never happen to anyone. Let this man be an example to everyone. Stand up to your internet troll don't let them make you miserable.

After reading this article i felt sick, Its just disgusting what some people do online.I couldn't believe the "troll" sent dead flowers and ashes to them man, why would someone do that? it's just wrong in so many ways.
What shocked me the most was the fact the "troll" got away with what he did,I know he was only 17 but its still harassment at the end of the day.
I that was me I bring him straight to the guard no matter who's child he is.
I can't relate to this article and I glad I don't because trolling is just wrong,These "trolls" really need help in my opinion.
