I sympathise, but don't blame technology. You are always
going to find minorities of low-lifes who get their jollies from
upsetting other people. The best response is to ignore them
completely (often difficult, I know). [Possibly even better is
to make a big joke out of it and make the whacko look
totally ridiculous - that really tends to get them where they
live.]
People who do this sort of thing face-to-face often finish
up with bruises and other miscellaneous contusions for
their efforts. They either reform, or get to like being
black-and-blue. Unfortunately the Internet does not provide
for such corrective actions.
Cheer up though, Aoighlaigh. Not *all* netizens are bad.
