- sixthchild, on 07/31/2008, -0/+3I laughed pretty hard at the last paragraph in the article (Spoiler Alert!):
"Now they're asking the judge to give them additional time to try and determine the identities of the remaining defendants, who are currently being sued under their AutoAdmit handles: among others, PaulieWalnuts, Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey, The Ayatollah of Rock-n-Rollah, Patrick Bateman and HitlerHitlerHitler." - ChayesFSS, on 08/01/2008, -0/+1Sounds like these 'Real Life' trolls are really going after these 'Online Trolls'. Damn womenz, ruining the internet from everyone
- Cuja, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1I hate trolls so much. However, I disagree with what is said here.
"The internet isn't a radical-free zone where you can hurt people. But on the other hand, we can't have everyone rushing to the court, because the court is a blunt tool," Solove says. "We need something to help shape norms -- there needs to be some kind of push back against the notion that the internet is a place where you can say what you want and screw the consequences. That's not what free speech is about."
That is what free speech is about. You can say anything you want to and not care about what happens to you because it is your right to say it. If someone sues you for libel then that is the consequence. Were we not taught about how Sticks and stones hurt like hell, but words, um, don't? - PHiZ187, on 08/01/2008, -0/+1That guy's name is HitlerHitlerHitler. Construct a mental image of the judge saying this aloud.
