Once upon a time, over in the Yahoo! Answers Religion & Spirituality section, there was a user who went by the handle of Debra M, a Catholic lady who always asked and answered questions with grace, honesty, and humor. And she was widely liked, and even loved by some.
A week ago, she died after a long illness. And many people were greatly saddened.
Today some wanker decided to clone her and impersonate her on the R&S board. You know, just for the LULZ.
Great was the outrage, but apparently the wanker has some friends, since those friends went through thumbs-downing every answer that was critical of the wanker's actions.
The appropriateness of standing up for a dead person was questioned, and some people actually got the point of said question.
And then, in response to another question, the probably identity of the wanker was revealed. And when people track him down, yea verily, mighty will be the fallout.
Me, I'm making popcorn. This promises to be entertaining.
(And nope, I can't show you any of the clone's activity. The account was reported on every single post and question under the "illegal" catagory for impersonating another member, albeit a dead one, since Debra M's real account still exists on Yahoo!. The clone ended up getting suspended, but I suspect The Rev. Kip's troubles on Y!A have just begun. You reap what you sow, karma's a bitch, and capering around wearing the ripped-off mask of a recently departed and well-respected board member just isn't done.)
EDITED TO ADD: You can get some idea of what kind of person Debra M was here.

Oh, verily the drama it will be!
Pity the wanker had to be such a T.R.O.L.L (Totally/Teenage Repulssive Obstinate Lousy Loser/Loner, or version there of). The lady seemed to be a kind one :-)
