Lawyer files class action lawsuit after being flamed by message board users on Yahoo. Message Board users over-react, and then Slashdot gets hold of the story. Let the emailing, telephoning and name calling begin. (via slashdot)

Geez. What a big baby. I cannot believe someone is actually suing over that.

Mother Theresa and a lawyer were locked in a room with a wolverine and a rabid dog. She was given a gun with two bullets. She shot the lawyer twice.

If we call him a jackass, is he gonna sue us? It's not like nobody reads MeFi.

I think "asscandle" and "fucktable" should be added to the next revision of the Oxford English Dictionary.

This is unbelievable and shocking. I refuse to think a lawyer would do such a thing.

"overly robust" ... I like that turn of phrase.

In principle, I think the lawsuit is silly and frivolous. On a completely seperate issue, I cackled openly about the prospect of everyone signed up to comment on a Yahoo messgae board being identified. The sound of several hundred thousand anonymous imbicles who enjoy writing racist, sexist, ignorant bullshit because it's their only outlet againt their personal fallacies suddenly finding out their identity might be made public and feeling their dicks shrivel so fast they actually curled inside their own crotches brought a smile to my face. I imagine it having a soft-trumpet Looney Tunes-like tone.

my God, newbornhippy - i just read that link of yours. Good looney tunes indeed. That's not really the direction to take in this sorta thing, is it? I kinda feel grody now.

newbornhippy, you ignorant slut. You putrescent mass of walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. That is a classic usenet flaming screed that has been around the block a bit. ;-)

Glad madamjujujive mentioned that, that particular flame predates the web by at least a couple years. I prefer the variant with the science nerd paragraph addition, personally: I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a while new dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Metastupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid so dense that no intellect can escape; the black hole of stupidity. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on the warm side of Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid than our entire galazy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Ah, the good old days of usenet, when people put some effort into their flames.

XQUZYPHYR - that's precisely what i was thinking, heh. Sadly, it's also what I was thinking. After seeing it had already been said, I thought exactly what you just thought, meaning I've almost run out of things to say. To be truthful, I stopped reading comments after yours, t r a c y, in fear that this had already been said. I may have, in fact, reached the end of my autonomy. Who do I sue?
