</div>For those of you following at home, it looks like somebody was imitating<br>
Justin. It looks like it was coming via T-Mobile[1] from an Ubuntu<br>
machine called 'acemonstertoes'. They only sent the one email "I will<br>
survive", everything else was Justin.<br>
<br>
So it's old-style trolling (rather than someone breaking into Justin's<br>
gmail account or anything exciting like that).<br>
<br>
Looking at the headers of the email is a great way to learn about this<br>
kind of fakery. As someone else said, it's also a great time to learn<br>
about cryptographic authentication of email.<br>
<br>
I also want to say that I think a lot of people who are sort of in favor<br>
of this or dip into doing it themselves from time to time, because it's<br>
for the lulz, and also because they are annoyed by drama, and like to<br>
show how people who are just flailing can be made to flail some more.<br>
<br>
Still, as you're setting up the PHP mail scripts, and the tumblrs, and<br>
the IRC bots, and devoting all of this time to fanning the flames some<br>
more, there's a point where it's pretty obvious what role one is playing<br>
in all of this. I know that everytime I'm tempted to troll, a little<br>
angel dies, and I try (not always successfully) to do something new.<br>
<br>
Because, you know, Hitler: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLci5DoZqHU" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLci5DoZqHU</a><br>

[1] I'm guessing T-Mobile only lets devices on their own network send<br>
through that, although stranger things have certainly happened.<br>
