A word on that thing, 2
There's an incredible feeling of impotency when you're being threatened or bullied over the internet like that. You want to be the greatest hacker that's ever lived. "I am syph__[^l!s>, and you have just messed with the wrong geek, sir!
YOU ARE NOT SMART (repeat)
I own your life, and I'll never leave you alone! I'm officially obsessed!
I'm the virus that was with Hitler when he did the jig!!"
OK, whatever. I can't even write Hackerese. (That above sounds as stupid as my emails to that journalist/pundit...)
Along those same lines, the most intimidating internet lingo I've ever read is some of the English kids who do that thing where they swarm somebody and beat them up for no reason. I read some of their online writing. They use a kind of creative language that I can't replicate here. Sort of clockwork orange meets real brain damage. It communicates total conscienceless, meaningless, violence and chaos. Kind of a hell language...
