Law Student Web Forum: Free Speech Gone too Far?

Posted by samzenpus on from the sticks-and-stones dept.

The Xoxo Reader writes "Today's Washington Post carries a front-page article on the internet message board AutoAdmit (a.k.a. Xoxohth), which proclaims itself the "most prestigious law school discussion board in the world." The message board has recently come under fire for emphasizing a free speech policy that allows its users to discuss, criticize, and attack other law students and lawyers by name. Is this an example of free speech and anonymity gone too far, or is internet trolling just a necessary side effect of a policy that otherwise promotes insightful discussion of the legal community?"

    Problem is, guess how much traction any of these women would get going to the police trying to get them to go after these guys.

    Zero, I hope. Settle down and pull your balls out of your wife's purse; this isn't a "womens issue".
