A classic ridiculous lawsuit.

A California lawyer has filed a potential class action lawsuit against the internet search company Yahoo. Stephen Galton says he was subject to a "barrage of harassing, defamatory and abusive messages" from anonymous users on a Yahoo message board.

This kind of thing is going to far. I don't want disclaimers everywhere I look! I can just imagine:

Ridiculous. But typical.

Oh yeah. That's nice. Give people their addresses... 'cuz nothing's better than getting a letter bomb because you called some guy a "jerk."

God. There is very little in this world that pisses me off more than frivolous lawsuits.

EDIT: On second thought, I'm joining the lawsuit. DI called me an asshole today, and despite my best efforts to find his address and put bologna all over his car, OWF just won't seem to give me any compensation...

Alcar and Abe Babe, you tyrannical bastards.

pfft. who hasn't? thats what message boards are. Post on a message board, don't be surprised if your flamed. Most of the flamers are just trolls and spammers, anyway. Not like it matters.

pfft...hes obviosly some posh doochebag.he obviosly expects forums to say ''Hello jolly old chap.We will make you tea and biscuits and post them through the mail for you!''.That really annoys me.Wen I was having an arguement with sligslinger and codek on the animal thing they called me anmes.Did I do a lawsuit to them?No Could I give a shit?No Was it some silly typing thing on the internet? YES!Hes obviosly a sad miserable loser.oops did I say that?Now hes gonna lawsuit me

OK ill flame NDW.You are a ****ing bastard whom noone loves.I want rid of you and youre cocksucking ugly little name....Happy now?

Bah. I hate whiney bastards who sue for no real reason.

:rolleyes:

The guy was I believe a lawyer who had logged on to defend a client!!!

Hense the reactionary law suit!!!!

woah, how did you get past that bitch of a 10 character limiter

I don't know!!!!

(CB's post originally had only the roll eyes smilie!)

Damn it!

Adding that edit means that people cant see how special and brilliant I had been!!!!! :p :D (j/k)

probably having the quotes in it counts as text.

Pooh! Here's me thinking I was special too.... :( :D

What a dicksmacker. I think that judges should have the ability to waive suits like this out of hand and charge the person DOUBLE what the fees of the prosecution and defense are and furthermore fine them $500 dollars for wasting everyone's time.

Honestly, either people will do anything for a bit of money. Or they're too damn sensitive for their own good.

And as Statikk said, its a big waste of time.

Great. It's a new low for the human race when some Joe Schmoe tries to sue the internet. Yahoo, no less. People just set themselves up for their stupidity being posted here.

ODDWORLD FORUMS! Get your crazy-ass worldwide news here!

Ah, fuck it! The guy got away with it, no use wasting your time debating the stupidity of his actions. It's obvious he's an idiot. Case closed.
