I dare say he's a young adult with what seems to be a very hard handicap. I doubt DS knew about his disability from the get go. Young adults do also get treated differently by the law (at least in germany). Because there is a certain age range in which people are legally adults, but still tend to do a lot of stupid poo poo.
So yeah if someone is giving you trouble on the internet and you know their age is in this range. Calling the parents can help more than trying to reason with those persons. I mean Tripwire Interactive (Red Orchestra series) has (or had) a statement in their ToS/EULA that basically said: "If you cheat we revoke your ... blah blah ... and will call your mom!".

And if you look at it: Cheating in a video game is a far less serious thing to do than online harassment.

P.S.
I have not looked deeply at the :wheelchair: guy thing to have an opinion wether or not it can be considered harassment. It's just an interesting thing to argue about.

You know... if this stargur's bag is it doesn't do DMCA takedowns, doesn't that mean that it's no longer a safe harbour and thus is legally culpable for the content it hosts?

Pages late, but every time someone complains about doxxing I have to wonder if no one remembers the phone book. You know, that thing they used to leave on your doorstep that had everyone's name, address, and phone number?

Complaining that someone found your real name because you tied it to a very visible social media platform (Facebook, Twitter, etc) to me is pretty much the same as complaining that someone looked you up in the white pages and found your phone number.
Also people used to live in more tightly-knit communities where everyone knew everyone else. You'd get shamed by your fellow townspeople or whoever.

But we don't live like that anymore so people who feel aggrieved by others resort to appealing to (big, distributed online) third parties who will mock and shame the transgressor. It's not that Derek Smart will leak their names that has a deterrent effect, it's that he serves it up to the goons to make hilarious photoshops.

Why the hell is this nobody more important to waste your precious time on, rather than sayyy CIG? Rather than starting that lawsuit to sue them for hosting, allowing and encouraging this kind of poo poo to go on? Every moment you spend on this cripple, is just giving him more validation (regardless of whether or not he stops, or if your threat of suing him goes through/works). If you go after every single white knight psycho, you'll never get around to actually going after the source of all this rot, which is CIG and the way they treat people.

I doubt he's doing the legal stuff himself. I think he's smart enough to know that he only needs to pay the bills and tell what he is going for.

If their image processing script is REALLY stupid it MIGHT cause their host to repeatedly attempt to wipe its harddrive. Probably not though.
And I'm not going to find out.

Yeah, US has some laws about that poo poo, and I'm not about to try, not even in the name of "security research". Let's just say that there are imageboard (think 4chan) scripts out there with better interfaces and better upload sanitizing.
