how much joy some folks seem to be getting watching somebody get taken apart

Generally I would agree. In this specific case the video goes into painful detail into exactly how much the guy's screwed over other people. For profit.

"I don't know, I've no bloody sympathy at all." As long as people don't overstep other boundaries (threats or whatever - edit: the ones he made up obviously don't count) he deserves every last crumb of vitrol headed his way. Pathetic, scamming, ineptly plagiarizing, opportunistic freaking scumbag that he is.
