Yes, there's a grammatical error in the headline.

My attorney advises me not to comment on cases under litigation.

So to sum up, annoying people pseudonymously on the internet is a crime, and doing it under your own name is a tort.

I like that the defendant's alibi is that Ohio is l4m3rz.

Maybe text and I should sue each other over yesterday's imbroglio. WTF -- can't the guy turn off the computer if he's being abused?

Well, one either responds to the abuser(s) or, if it gets too bad, leaves. Suing is a little extreme.

Apparently he's suing them for stuff that went on outside of the chat room, but that he knew primarily through the chatroom.

"He just came in slamming on me, saying all kinds of derogatory crap: that I was a fat, bald, broke old man who sits around in a rusted wheelchair," said Charpentier, who has a chronic back injury. "I don't even own a wheelchair"

Class action against w-lfs-n?

Excellent idea! We file a complaint alleging that, by mercilessly ridiculing our spelling, grammar, and syntax, w-lfs-n has "humiliated us beyond what no person could endure." Then he'll file an answer ridiculing our ungrammatical complaint, and we can use that as additional evidence against him.

See? This is the inevitable result of being hung up over not being perceived as a priss. You file bogus lawsuits in order to defend your manhood and end up looking like a priss.

"Man sues chatroom pals: I was humiliated beyond what 'no man could endure'"

I think he'll find that being known as the fat guy who sued because his pretend internet friends teased him will be far more humiliating.

There is no question that "I've been humiliated beyond what no man can endure!" is going to be my new favorite phrase. Unfortunately I can't even say it without smiling.

JO, you are woefully confused. After the apocalypse (have you looked out the window in the past two hours), as the earth reverted to its Edenic State, Apostropher and I, well, I can't quite speak of it, but the human race will continue. The only relevant threads are those I have gathered to cover up my shame.

Oh, right.

*blushes*

Last night, after the Apocalypse, before Apostropher, Ewan MacGregor found me with an infrared sensor. He came up to me and started nibbling on my neck. "For the future of art. Of music!" he entreated. But, I was on the pill, and busy watching Matlock reruns. Except there was no electricity, so actually I was just imagining them on a black screen. Apostropher only succeeded because he was a bit more aggressive. The pill might be a problem though. And the weiner.

At what age does one normally realize the best response to insults is to either mock them, ignore them, or wear them proudly?

I mean for normal people, not for fat old bald guys like me sitting in wheelchairs whose only illusion of worthiness comes from the internet.
