Harassing the user for posting something on the internet, while the thread was stupid, is hardly a good idea. It makes you no better than them. And if they're trolling, you're just feeding them by "harassing" them. I'd rather someone post a troll/offensive thread than harass someone. Harassing is highly malicious, and just because this user trolled or was misguided in posting that thread doesn't mean he needs people to start doxxing him or telling him he should die, etc. 

Sorry, I usually don't post in these threads, but trying to see someone justify harassing one dude over a thread he made online, offensive or not, just rubbed off of me the wrong way. 

Also Tulpa, I'd dispute the fact that GG conducts massive troll campaigns, but I guess this isn't the place for that.

Oh, I'm really not into that kind of thing. When I "Harass" someone, I just consistently give them a hard time about things in not-necessarily-related things. kind of like what was happened in the thread but with less posting density, volatility, and spread throughout other threads if he did something similar. You can get sued over this flavor, if one party or the other is highly motivated enough. Telling someone to die is an inherently silly thing, and Doxxing is also pretty stupid since it clashes with the victim on a technical level and not on the grounds in which you disagree. I just vocally disapprove of his actions on the internet, and that disapproval will remain on the internet.

Then again, he is just a troll, so it's best the subject is just condescendingly dismissed rather than met with justified salt.
