The original title for this topic was to be Internet Dick but I don't know if that would be allowed.
This kind of arsehole makes me want to puke:

Now, I know that Millar doesn't have many fans on this site but you have to agree that he's right on the money here and is at least doing something about dicks like this.
I only hope that the female members of this noble forum have not suffered such sick abuse.
Kudos to Millar for that.
That's scary stuff. He's done well there. Hopefully we will hear of good things happening as the result of it.
Good on him. Well done Mark Millar and chums who helped.
I've long said it - I may have no time for Millar's writing, but he himself is a genuinely good bloke.
Spot on MR Millar. Need more of this as there are a lot of dicks out there.

That's grand that is.
Nice one - it's easy to feel powerless against the supposed anonymity of the internet, good on them for going after him.
Good for MM. Excellent work. The internet: Not entirely populated by idiots :)

oh I dunno - have you read all the comments about this troll's freedom of speech and how "you should be gangraped by me and my friends" doesn't constitute a threat? ::)
Well done Mister Millar, using his powers for good!

But as we know, gang rape is okay in a 'comedy' situation. Maybe that's what he was going for here..?

I did say not ENTIRELY populated by idiots. There are still, however, a fair few idiots.
Bravo on this.
Bullying is bad enough it is a serious issue which dosn't get taken seriously a lot of the time.
I know one woman who has had to remove herself from all forums because of bullying. (Worse she suspected due to some true personnel comments made) that the chief bully was actually stalking her.
Regretably I haven't heard from her in months. She has littarally been driven off the internet.

That is the stuff of genuine nightmares.
If Mark is clearing up the internet do you think he has enough cash left to eradicate the scourge of Prou*foot?

I'll do anything for the right price bigboy! ;)
Bah! Scourge eradication fail!
Agreed. Wonderful though the internet is, the anonymity of it brings on dreadful new worries.
