Its evil. Making people believe that someone is dead, publicly, and placing
obituaries online shows no regard for the thoughts & feelings of the person
being trolled or the others who may read them.
In a community where whispers and hear-say can even get SANS to look for an
OpenSSH 0day "doing-the-rounds", spreading 'misinformation' about a well-liked
individual who worked on a project for the community is unpleasant - making out
they are dead is just horrible.
There are people at the end of the computers. Don't ever forget it.
