You have probably started a classic thread here. One that will go to thousands of posts with some of the most hilarious "insults" bandied back and forth among FRiends for months to come.
Nice job, dipst!&k...

IMO, AOL has precisely the same responsibility for checking the authenticity of statements made by chat room posters as the manufacturers of printing presses have for checking the authenticity of statements made on the pages of the NYT.
...or the manufacturers of PA systems have for checking the veracity of statements made by the speakers whose voice they amplify.
...or the manufacturers of the lenses on the HD television cameras of CBS have for verifying the truth of political statements made by David Letterman.

Blame the gun store owners when guns are used in crimes.
Blame the phone company when your ex calls you up and curses you out.
Blame McDonald's when you spill your coffee in your lap or for eating five value meals a day until you reached obesity.
Did someone tie this guy to a chair with toothpicks holding his eyes open while someone constantly refreshed the screen?
I see lawsuits against the maker of Dell computers, Microsoft for making Windows XP, the electric company, the ISP, the maker of the chair he sat on, etc..

There was a certain FReeper who threatened to sue FR, JimRob, and several other FReepers for libel when factual information was posted about this poster.
There are people looking to sue in hopes of hitting the lawsuit lottery all over the place and look for any possible opportunity.

Good Heavens! This idiot should've been on some of the old IRC "chat rooms" 10 years ago or more.......
Flood wars, nuking, flaming, channel takeovers, war bots, and the list goes on.......
Poor thing would've died of a heart attack in the first 15 minutes online.........
Get a life fella......
If ya can't take the heat.......well you know.....

is suing America Online for allegedly failing to do anything about the abuse he endured in the chat room Horse puckey.
There can be no abuse or humiliation without the plaintiff's willing participation.
Close the AIM window or turn off the PC. Case dismissed.

According to court documents, the chat room participants "acted in an outrageous manner, which they knew or should have known would cause serious emotional distress to the plaintiff ... The Defendants' conduct was so extreme and contemptible as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency."Should this suit succeed, Clown Posse might have some new -- legal-like -- communications. :o)

Who is he going to sue when everybody makes fun of him in open court and Leno and Letterman use him as the butt of their jokes for a couple of weeks?

The American Bar Association isn't coming after me for all the lawyer-bashing I've done over the years are they? Silly me. They would have to allege and prove damage, and how could lawyers' image be damaged anymore than it already was, right?
To: xsmommy
no, but i am. darling ; ) Just remember to bring the leather and handcuffs.
