    Directing such an insult towards a person directly would be an assault (as opposed to assault and battery) and would be a hate crime since a crime based on race. This person, though despicable, doesn't seem to be directly attacking any person(s). Many of the filth he posts seems to be blanket insults and opinion. Were he to directly attack a specific person or FC/group of people in game by name then yes, that may be perceived as a hate crime and a federal one, at that, since taking place over interstate commerce.

    They have been doing targeted harrassment. I myself had witnessed them doing the following:
    1. Naming their alts after specific mentors (often those who manage to kick them). If someone who kicked them was named Onetwo Hello* they'd make an alt named Onetwo Hellwiggs*.
    2. Personalising their spam to attack specific mentors (again, often those who manage to kick them), and these attacks included not only insulting said mentor with slurs, but even going "(mentor) is the spammer!"
    3. Doing both of the above at once.

    I would post chat logs, but I imagine that would get me forum-banned if uncensored and, if censored, would not actually demonstrate my point.

    *Not actual player names (that I know of)
