The irony of this story is terrific.
So this 14 year old has picked up on those qualities portrayed as part of every day life on the Eastenders programme? Whatever did those involved with this programme think they were going to create in the society? If anything, it's to his credit that this 14 year old targeted them - part of the source of much that brings our society down passing as 'entertainment'.
As for masquerading as a group of people to present a different reality to achieve his desired agenda, that's something akin to what the BBC do on a daily basis. Masquerading as fair and impartial while twisting the news to fit their own agenda.
The only difference is we're not forced to pay this lad to do it. I don't find this lad 'sick' at all, just those he targeted can't understand why.
What goes around - comes around.

Boy, 14, gets police warning after hate campaign against EastEnders cast and crew
By Emma Reynolds
A 'sick' 14-year-old boy has been given a police warning after waging a hate campaign against the EastEnders cast and crew.
The teenager is thought to have targeted more than a dozen stars from the BBC programme through vicious emails and abusive comments left on internet forums.
Staff working on the soap became increasingly frightened by the specific detail in the messages, according to a source.
'It was like this poster was on the set with some of the detail he knew,' a source from the soap told The Sun.
'At first it looked like a group of angry, vicious viewers but as it got more sinister we looked into it and found it was just one sick individual.
'This person was emailing specific details about EastEnders’ staff and there was also sickening abuse appearing online on lots of different forums.'
Police issued a warning to the boy following the campaign of harassment, which continued for several months.
The show’s bosses came in for particular attacks over the decisions being made on set, according to the source.
EastEnders' company manager Carolyn Weinstein reassured staff in a letter that the culprit had been given a warning.
She said he had used multiple identities to conduct the harassment over a lengthy period of time through emails to BBC staff, forums and BBC message boards.
Ms Weinstein said the boy had created a false impression that numerous people were engaging in the negative conversations on the BBC website and elsewhere.
She said she hoped the action taken would show that abuse or bullying of staff would not be tolerated and would be treated with the utmost seriousness.
A Hertfordshire Police spokesman confirmed that a 14-year-old had last week been given a formal warning - the youth version of a police caution.
An EastEnders spokesman last night declined to comment on the matter.
