Sadly, yes. He's rightfully pissed off — and I don't think victims of harassment should have to go dark online or isolate themselves — but the reaction and the spectacle is usually what the perpetrators want. The old adage "don't feed the trolls" exists for a reason (see also, "grey rock method").

A new Telegram channel named “Torswats Return” was created by someone claiming that their “partner has been arrested”, according to posts viewed by The Independent. > The channel stated that it would continue offering “swats” for as little as $40, and offered returning customers a discounted rate. It also posted derogatory photographs and text about Mr Tomlinson — noting that there would be no charge for requested swats against him. > “And of course swats to Patrick… are free,” read the Telegram message.
