Noel Edmonds and the facebook Troll

I read today that Noel Edmonds has agreed to pay for a PHD students studies after hiring an agency to discover the identity of the person who set up a facebook page stating Noel Edmonds has to die. Facebook had refused his request to remove the group stating that they could only remove a page if they had a formal request from the police. Rather than lodge a formal complaint with the police and potentially destroy a young mans life he decided to meet with the poster and after he removed the group agreed to fund his studies.

Thats very nice of Noel but I have the feeling that it may have the opposite effect to which he desired. It seems to me that anyone who is looking to fund their university studies what with the recent increases in tuition fees may decide to set up a Facebook group stating much the same? I'm going to give it a few days and see how many new anti-Noel Edmonds pages pop up over the next few days.
