There is an internet vandal who defaces Free Republic with very gross pictures (homosexual sex and stuff from rotton.com) as well as posting "ALL YOU F***** N*****S & JEWS SHOULD BE LYNCHED".
He pings a variety of people to his post, ensuring that the trash is still in their My Posts lists.
To me, this isn't the milder form of harassment that Eschoir engaged in so many years ago. The very worst he would do is ask if you ever committed sodomy, and he once used the screen name "Paula Jones Tw*t". This is mild.
What this sick piece of work is doing is much more egregious. I believe it crosses the line into criminal defacement and restraint of trade. Are there any Free Republic lawyers (especially prosecutors) who can address this issue, and are there any private detectives with internet savvy that will help track the identity of this person down?
Disgusting. And he posts at a time when everyone on the West Coast is asleep. This is not a newbie, I suspect, but someone who has been banned in the past, probably over racism or Nazi issues.
Sadly, I doubt that there's any law under which he could be prosecuted. I sure would like to know who he is, though...
Does anyone have a phone number for Jim Robinson? If so, I think it's time to call him, regardless of the early hour.
Agreed.
This is an almost every day occurance for me.
And it's old.
Whoever this is, he needs to be tracked, and his parents/teachers/parole officer notified.
bttt
I have sent two abuse complaints to the moderator on this. Can the moderator pull this sick stuff without pulling the rest of the thread? I have NEVER in my life seen such sickness. And I worked in a psychiatric hospital for 10 years. I cannot comprehend the point of this. It is unbelievable.
BUMP!!
Indeed.
That's not the way this would be prosecuted. It's one thing to have a picture; it's another entirely to plaster it all over the side of a bank. One is obscenity; the other is criminal defacement and possible restraint of trade.
I'm in.
Book 'em, Danno!
BTTT
Dear jude24,
In that the pictures certainly violate the forum's written rules, it seems that posting them a couple of dozen times at least is harassing. Don't know if there's anything criminal to that, but I'd think it could be the basis of a civil suit.

Is he still sending this stuff to you in your email ?
Bump to the top. The dirt bag will burn.
Yep, I hit the abuse button! Disgusting! He registered w/FR today! Total pervert!
Prosecute to the max bump!
Thank you Laz.
I was on that thread and had to go away.
I intend to ensure that this occurs. I will even be willing to work with the moderators behind the scenes, somehow.
I'm deadly serious about this.
Criminal defacement might be a winner, but since FR does not engage in trade (we explicitly say so on the front page), restraint of trade wouldn't be applicable.
Morning. Just a thought but maybe we are giving this person what they want. Lots of attention. I was on another thread but I'm not going to post any more about it. The mods do a good job. FR isn't broken. They usually keep this stuff off the site and delete what slips by really fast.
"He registered w/FR today! Total pervert!
"
I doubt that this is his first visit, though. He sounds like a retread of someone banned in the past.
