Star Wars Kid Cuts a Deal With His Tormentors

An anonymous reader writes "Ghyslain Raza, who gained instant online fame as the 'Star Wars Kid' settled this week with the families of the three classmates who posted his two minute Lucasfilm screen test on the Internet. No details were released but the suit sought damages of $351,000. A victory for the victims of cyber-bullying, or missed chance by thin-skinned Ghyslain to cash-in as the next William 'She Bangs' Hung?"

Stop abusing your mod points, you're disgusting.

I can tell you from experience that you have to abuse your mod points (e.g. get meta-moderated down) through about 16 "mod point cycles" before they stop giving them to you. You don't have to tell him to stop, they'll stop him.

I do metamoderate, thanks for the advice though.

But isn't it funny you say this

"The parent post was not "Interesting", it merely complained about moderation. Stop abusing your mod points; you're disgusting."

Then you say this

"If you don't like it, quite whining and start metamoderating."

Hey why don't you quit whining and start metamoderating? Why are you doing exactly what you are complaing about me doing? And why do you not see how ridiculously hypocritical you are?

I deserve flamebait for this one. I'll take my medicine, but it's worth it to point out what a cunt you are.
