In many cases "moderating", "deleting posts", "banning" doesn't work, for the simple reason that it's "online consequences", just like the actions are "online", and to the perpretrator they just don't see "online" being a problem.

However, once you get the law involved, the reality of what they have been doing hits them in the face like a Mac truck and they realize... "Hey! I'm not as annonymous as I thought... my actions online are just as wrong as if they are done in person."

I just have zero tolerance and patience for those who hide behind their computers playing "School yard bully", which is exactly what they are doing. If I had more financial resources available to me, I'd contribute to the guys prosecution fund.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
