The internet is filled with people who like to write hateful things to complete strangers, essentially anonymously. While a lot of it gets brushed to the side, there are some instances in which justice gets served.

Even on the internet, you have to be accountable for your actions, as a Cleveland Cavaliers fan learned recently when he got his Twitter fingers going.

Let that be a lesson to everyone on Twitter. Not only should you not spew hate "for fun" (because it's not funny), but you can also face serious repercussions.

That may seem like a crushing blow to anyone, but according to the fan, it was totally worth it:

Riiiiiiight.

Ultimately, the Cleveland fan's now-former employer apologized to Sydel:
