Web Site Sues Annoying Pest Troll

Posted by timothy on Saturday January 18, 2003 @07:58AM from the not-not-this-web-site dept.

kongjie writes "Cleveland's The Plain Dealer has a story in the business section about a pest-control web site that is suing someone who obviously has a particular bone to pick with exterminators: he is accused of being a "troll" who "constantly leaving obnoxious and offensive messages" on their pest-control bulletin board. The suit is for $5,000 and is for "violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.""

I think one could successfully argue in court that Slashdot serves no function except for trolls to flex their creative muscles.

It would be like Chuck E Cheese suing little kids for peeing in the balls.
