Hi,
The targeted person's reaction is secondary to
him. And the targets are,
most likely, chosen at random. He is more stimulated by seeing his work
there, in print, than anything else. It's like some persons who write
graffiti on a wall; they are less interested in the reactions of those who
see it, than in looking up and seeing that their work is there. And only
strong outside intervention will even begin to stop him.
What amazes me is that this guy, a 19-year-old, whose identity is
known publicly, is willing to risk his future career life by engaging
in silly, disruptive, petty vandalism that would be common from a
two-year-old.
And what he's doing is illegal, too. He's taking a huge risk.
Why can't some people simply apologise and move on, or at least move
on? There are other things that are far more worthy of one's time,
Wikipedia-related and not.
