Boxer vs Twitter troll. Boxer wins. (telegraph.co.uk)

I know its the telegraph, which is a vaguely reactionary right wing UK paper, but the whole tone of the piece, which I suspect will appeal to many of its readership, misses the point of so much of the online world.

1. The boxer was going to respond to verbal taunts with violence

2. A really serious case of anti-semitic harrassment got treated like the boy had kicked a ball into the wrong garden

3. trolling - all we need to do is take away anonymity and confront these people. That is not the experience of the world to date.
