I don't think they're defending him....just defending how they're responding because the consensus appears to be the OP was wrong in what he did.

Personally, I have been on the receiving end of online trickery that was not a joke and I went off on the bastard. There's simply no excuse for it.
I, too, have been on the receiving end, and there is very little which makes me angrier than intentioned deceit like that.

But I don't think I would've felt the need to personally attack this poster and their intelligence to show them that it wasn't the best idea. It seems that everyone on this thread is upset because the OP didn't take their advice. That's ego, and the same posters on TFP who've taught me that ego gets you nowhere and you won't be able to convince people no matter how "right" you are are the same ones denigrating the OP.
