Yesterday, the STD told you about what happened when Penny Arcade got involved with a douchebag PR person named Paul Christoforo. It was a great little story about a dick who gets his comeuppance, thanks to the internet.

The problem is, the internet does not have an off switch, and now it's getting out of hand:

After picking on an Avenger Controller customer named Dave and gaming giant Mike Krahulik yesterday, Christoforo quickly learned that there are some people who won’t tolerate his thuggish behavior. Even after hurriedly changing his Twitter handle from @OceanMarketting to the equally misspelled @OceanStratagy (and he may switch again), he is still being lambasted.

Now, users have discovered Christoforo's alleged steroid abuse and domestic violence charges and brought them out into the open. Avenger Controller’s replacement PR representative, Eli Schwartz, told Kotaku that Christoforo is “out of business."...[Penny Arcade honcho Mike] Krahulik, who said he’d been bullied as a child, felt no sympathy.

“I think there is a big difference between being sorry and being sorry you got caught,” he wrote. “I feel like Paul is a bully and maybe that’s why I have no sympathy here. Someday every bully meets and even bigger bully and maybe that’s me in this case.”

Look, I'm not defending Christoforo. He's obviously dumb, he seems to be enjoying becoming the Number One Troll on the Internet This Week, and if what the internet has uncovered is true, he's a terrible human being, through and through. But Jesus Christ, people. What is the original thing that happened, here? He sent some mean e-mails. I think he's been suitably punished for that. The best thing to do now is to ignore Christoforo, and let him live out the rest of his life in the prison of ignorance he's already constructed for himself. Not to get Very Special Episode on you here, but the proper way to respond to bullying is not to become more of a bully. The bullies win when that happens. It makes me morally itchy when people on the internet get all uppity about the fact that they were bullied in high school and use that fact as a club against bullies; Christoforo has had enough. Ignore him.
