The guy was sincere for a few good reasons, too. There is fucking ginormous bias towards mothers in custody cases. Mothers must be practically found to be crackhead axe murderers to lose custody cases - in any sense of the word 'lose'. Hositility toward fellow players, most of whom are probably minors, is just the kind of garbage/dirt/ammo needed in those custody cases. He's looking for that stuff to show a pattern of abusive behavior toward minors in an attempt to legitimize his own claims against her towards the children he is trying to get custody over. Was he honestly doing it out of love for his kids or out of simple spite? Who knows, who cares.
Is it cold? Maybe. But the desensitization of society to such actions or tactics is far greater than you may think. All the more reason to think twice before undertaking the responsibility of marriage and most certainly a marquee reason for protected sex.
My opinion is that if he needs this stuff to make an argument, he has already lost the case.

It may not be "required" to make an arguement, however having supplemental information while entering a court case while make the preceedings flow much smoother or go much rougher, depending on which side of the seat you sit.
Which again, is another assumption.
If the mother was abusive to individuals, even online, including minors then it may weigh pretty heartily on the deciding judges person.
