I wouldnt get caught up in all "Im skint.." or "My mothers ill stuff" here.
What he really wants is the drama of causing an upset and all the fall out that comes with it.
Frank- I cant believe what you did.
It was a fantastic thing to do and truly demonstrates your character as a stand up guy.
Funnily enough though, its the last thing this guy wants.

If I had to diagnose him, Id say its likely he has a personality disorder, and a true case of self-loathing.
He needs to perpetuate this self-loathing and continually confirming his worthlessness, by getting others anrgy at him.

By showing sympathy and patience, and trying to help, you have actually caused the guy more pain and confusion, as what he wants is to be hated, reviled, punished and ridiculed- as it confirms his own negative self image.

Unfortunately the only constructive way to deal with this guy is to completely ignore him- and deny him the oxygen of publicity-
the minute anyone realises its him, dont chastise, ridicule, name-call or anything- just ignore him.

Things may get worse for a wee while, but eventually he`ll give up and find another site where he can start all teh drama again.

I wish him all the best in teh future, but give it up already.
