Like Chompy said above, it requires an "offended" partyIf people started to lodge formal complaints against sickipedia, or against racist posts by youtube users, the offending parties probably wouldn't last very long. By contrast, on here, there's a tacit understanding that it's all very tongue-in-cheek and we're here to share the coarser end of our sense of humour: we're all offensive and nobody gets offended. I'd like to think if the guy in question had turned up and posted the same stuff here, it wouldn't be long before he was either flamed off the board or belted with a mod's ban hammer.
I do wonder whether he's been sent down because the remarks were about such a widely publicised story. I can't help but suspect the sentence wouldn't have been as harsh if he'd been pulled up for making similarly nasty remarks about a comparatively unknown youtube video.

I imagine you're right with this last point but that only makes him a bigger fucking idiot, if he had the faintest idea of how Twitter works he must have known he'd get RT'd all over the shop. He probably has a case to complain that he's been made an example of because of the profile of the abused, but he probably would have done well to just not racially abuse a critically ill man.
