Web Site Sues Annoying Pest Troll

Posted by timothy on 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.""

    Insight is seeing things not obvious.
    Not when the "things not obvious" are 100%, irrefutably incorrect.

    I could say that President Bush is black, and while it's "not obvious," it's hardly insightful, because it's incorrect.

    "And while we are on the issue of speech, when you rip a quote with giving credit, its plagarism. "

    No it's not.

    "And it's worse when you mess up the quote"

    No it's not. It's even less like plagerism since you're no longer using the same words as the original author.
