I've been watching from the sidelines in an online forum an individual becoming progressively more vocal and extreme in his advocation of violence towards a particular 'group' of people. I understand a lot of talk on the net is just trash talk, and I don't interact with the individual so I have no vested interest (im not a member of the 'group' he targets) but I am generally becoming concerned as the commentary is increasing in it's desire for violence and even killing, including that of children of the target group. Usually I would just ignore it, but this seems to be building up, more and more, and I'm wondering if it might seriosuly end in him acting on it. I've studied pysch and his communication seems to display the classic personality patterns of a sociopath. I understand that the 'Yahoo abuse' channel is completely useless. Essentially it seems to be extremely violence-based hate speech. If it's just talk, fine, but what if i do nothing and he ends up acting on his words?
