It really is quite interesting seeing just how... personally involved the malicious party is becoming.
Like, we've all seen someone, at some point on some site, be attacked by a group -- in most cases it only lasts a day or 2 and it's strangers lobbing weak insults around and not really trying to harm each other; just blowing off steam from the safety of behind a monitor.
But this (and other exceptional situations) is a very different spectacle. For people who often seem to pride themselves on not taking life or the internet seriously, the malicious party sure is taking their agenda against someone they met online very seriously. They try to play it cool and act like it's just for lulz, but really, take a good look at their behavior and tenacity (desperation) -- their behavior does not match the illusion of aloofness they try to put on.
