Seriously though I do like the blog, so I was pleased to see them getting some exposure.

Some people say it's best to ignore these types cause they like attention, and if you ignore them they'll get bored and disappear. I think exposing and shaming is better. Ignoring them just seems to give every new crop of idiots the impression that it's ok.

Both.
I agree with Redqueen about exposure, maybe we can do a little 'creep shaming' while we're at it
