And "harassing" the guy over the internet will prevent him from sexually assaulting someone because? At best the guy's illness could be exacerbated to the point of breakdown and at worst he might go out and rape somebody.
If you read the original transcript over on Reddit, they're not even using his real name (or "Lauren's" real name for that matter). She also doesn't work with him, so it's not likely to affect his work in any way. If he sees it, well, burn.. it's not like the internet is going to remember in a week.
Being a dick to other people isn't an "illness", it can occasionally be a symptom of an illness but none of us know enough to judge. I don't like pathologizing people for no good reason, I find that almost more offensive than just laughing at them because it belittles and stereotypes people with actual diagnosed psychiatric disorders or learning difficulties.
Not everyone who does something stupid has undiagnosed autism or a personality disorder, sometimes people just never learned how to behave. Heck, even people with autism can generally learn how to behave, but that means not indulging them all the time.
This is clearly unacceptable. We can all see that, therefore humour.
