    I don't think you actually have to know someone's RL person for cyberbullying. Slander, sure, but cyberbullying can cause psychological damages. He'd have to prove that, of course, but there are probably shady shrinks about.

    It wouldn't encessarily fall apart from his comments either. It could be the gasps of a poor bullied kid trying to push back, but just failing.

    AFAIK cyberbullying falls under personal injury laws, and you can't injure a username. None of this follows him into real life, or even other websites. He could try to claim he's got psychological damage or whatever, but I don't see any lawyer trying for that on contingency.

    Also, this last bit started when he kept claiming PB was a wifebeater. I think that would definitely have some impact in any theoretical lawsuit.

    You had better pay your guild dues before you forget. You are 113 months behind.

    From what I'm reading... It is 1st Amendment protected free speech unless we post actual personal identifying data.

    If he did try to sue us for cyberbullying, the ACLU would actually have our back.

    Many of the laws concerning it are for "cyberstalking" which is an adult communicating with a minor.

    Pk, however, would be guilty under Illinois cyberbullying statutes for threatening Matthew Capozzo's job security.

    Did we finally manage to drive pk away from the PC? He's usually unable to stop himself from commenting when he gets mocked.

    Nah, he'll be back in a month or so pretending nothing ever happened.

    I hear his lawyer has advised him to stay away from the PC while the lawsuit is under way so as not to taint the jury selection in the upcoming grand trial of the century.

    The judge has been recused and disbarred.
