It's amazing how much you can sweat in a 60 degree office," he said with a nervous laugh. Judging from his internet footprint, Brutsch, 49, has a lot to sweat over. If you are capable of being offended, Brutsch has almost certainly done something that would offend you, then did his best to rub your face in it. His speciality is distributing images of scantily-clad underage girls, but as Violentacrez he also issued an unending fountain of racism, porn, gore, misogyny, incest, and exotic abominations yet unnamed, all on the sprawling online community Reddit. At the time I called Brutsch,...

I think that if someone posts hateful, horrible shit on the interwebs they should be willing to be "outed." Hitler? Racism? Incest?

The guy claims to be normal, with a disabled wife & cat (or it could be a disabled cat & wife....). Not normal. He's a piece of shit, from what I can see.

Perfect definition of trolling:

many of Violentacrez's most offensive subreddits were created just to enrage other Reddit users. At this they were very effective. What happened was, some do-gooder would stumble upon one of his offensive subreddits and expose it to the rest of Reddit in an outraged post. Then thousands more would vote the thing to the front page of Reddit.

Post something deliberately offensive just for the giggles when other people turn blue, sputter, and stupidly grant huge publicity to the very thing they hate.

But you know, I have to admit that trolling has social value in exposing hypocrisy with regard to freedom of speech.

All I've got to say, if anyone here thinks I post about the lies and deceit of this administration and the way I worry it may or already does effect me, is Trolling. Then you're right Patrick it does expose free speech and those who get endless free speech and those that are expected to know their limits.

I'll be glad when these social networks implode because they don't have the balls to stand up for their users and their freedom of speech.

Or just maybe people are dumber than I originally thought, and this self inflicted abuse will continue for generations.

I do think that is trolling.

Obama's administration actually does not lie or deceive anywhere near the scale of the previous administration.

Whopping huge example: lying and deceiving about weapons of mass destruction in order to start an unnecessary war.

Please come up with some similar example about the Obama administration.

fast and the furious, Obama's knack to destroy evidence and then makes it look like he took the high road, he impedes investigations. Touts one thing in legislation he champions, but signs bills into law that contradicts what he sales. Oh I could go on and on...
