Is this fair, or too extreme ?

Almost everyone fell in love with Heath Ledger’s interpretation of the Joker in the motion picture The Dark Knight, however very few are aware that a person like the Joker really exists. His name is Ken Weitzner, he owns and runs a sports betting chat board called eog.com. Almost all aficionados of sports betting chat rooms and posting forums know Ken Weitzner. He first became popular when he got his first chat board off the ground.
Unlike other sports betting sites The Prescription soon became known as a colourful posting forum where gossip, drama and personal insults broadcast every day.
Ken Weitzner is the creator and mastermind of the formula behind the chat room’s success, which happens to be nothing else than the exact mirror of his complex and devilish personality.
Just like Heath Ledger’s Joker in the Dark Knight, Ken Weitzner doesn’t plan, he just “does things”, ably staying on top of the latest wave to hit his virtual stretch of beach.
Weitzner has no moral boundaries or regrets. His undisclosed love for money is the trigger behind everything he thinks or does.
Just like Heath Ledger’s diabolic character, Weitzner is normally perceived as a vicious sociopath while in reality he’s far more dangerous than that because his true nature is perfectly disguised by his humble appearance, false modesty and personal charm.
The Joker “does things” because he hates planners. Ken Weitzner “does things” because he is incapable to plan, too busy pursuing money in pure Machiavelli’s spirit... "The end justifies the means".
The other similarity between Heath Ledger’s fictional character of The Joker and Ken Weitzner’s sadly real persona is their insatiable ego. They both need never ending crowds’ attention, regardless if it is of fans or enemies.
Heath Ledger’s Joker builds momentum through physical cruelty Ken Weitzner gathers attention by means of psychological abuse.
“Ken literally broke my heart” Weitzner’s business partner told me years ago after Ken launched his new venture, Eye on Gambling, weeks after having sold his stake in The Prescription.
The ex partner’s distress was genuine, his feelings hurt by what he pictured as the mother of all betrayals.
It wasn’t about the money, it wasn’t about Weitzner launching a site identical to the one he quit, and it wasn’t about him promoting his new site to the same members of the posting forum he had just sold.
It was about Ken swearing on his loved ones’ head he wasn’t going to start any website in the immediate or near future.
It is a fact that the secret behind Weitzner’s success lays in his enemies rather than his friends.
He carefully and meticulously nurtures his haters knowing that they are the ones who keep him under the spotlight thus fuelling his thriving ego.
Unable to keep friends because of his lack of moral boundaries, obsessed by the accumulation of money as main goal in life, Weitzner magnified his weakness and turned it into strength and key to success.
His natural predisposition to betray isn’t a sign of evilness; there is no evil intention when he hurts someone’s deepest feelings but rather the mean to glorify his ego by lining up a constant army of haters, the only way he knows to avoid psychological castration deriving from being ignored.
Just like Heath Ledger’s character of The Joker, Ken Weitzner is paradoxically kept alive and thriving by his own fiercest haters, far too stupid to understand that turning the lights off would suffice in shutting the devil down.

Great, someone else that totally misses the point of Machiavelli.

Don't make political/historical/any other kind of reference if you don't understand it.
