Should troll's here be sued?

Yes. Of course. You Americans seem to sue for everything. Sheesh.

Slander is speech. It also has to be done behind one's back, and you have to have witnesses, and one more thing that I will get to in a few sentences. You mean libel. Libel (and slander) generally is handled in small claims court with a limit of $3000 in damages. The problem is that in libel and slander you have to PROVE that damage was done. In other words, there is no case for libel here.

Even if any of this here could be covered under international or federal laws, not a judge in the country would touch it, and you can't prosecute foreign citizens. There was a law passed in, I think, 2000, that made it illegal to post insults while being anonymous. That law is sitting gathering dust because no court would ever use it, because then it opens up millions of frivolous lawsuits and persecution of people, etc.

You can't IP ban anyone ever. It is so ridiculously easy to circumvent that no one should ever threaten that, because they just look like a retard when they do. You just need to use one of the tens of thousands of internet proxy servers, or get a list of proxies, or use a anonymizing proxy client.

The simplest way to get around a machine ban is to just boot up a different OS.

I hate when people throw around the word, "stalker" perhaps more than the abuse of "creepy." The only way stalker laws could be used on Y!A is if someone posed as a woman and gave out her personal information with the intention of causing harm done to her, or if a stalker was purposely visiting this site and any others that a woman visits regularly. I say "woman" because those laws are for women but not for men-- so much for equal protection under the law, huh?

Even death threats couldn't be prosecuted, nor would charges be pressed UNLESS the threat could be taken as legitimate, i.e., the person threatening death knew where the person lived and could possibly even get there. Flame wars are not something that can get you arrested unless you post the intended targets home address and say you are going there to kill them.

You know the only way these fools can get someone to agree is to have more than one profile. And hey, I'd say a woman that is a neurosurgeon is superior. But you may know something she doesn't and that makes you superior in that subject. it all pans out. I don't worry about it. Would you like to be like you know who with the suit and shi* eatin' grin..what's that brown stuff on his chin man. Can you sue a psycho.

I think that's going to the extreme. I would rather have feminists in real life who are in a position of power be sued for damages.

Sure you first. $100 000 for waisting all of our time with this question?

Grow up.

You are probably serious. No. Trolls should not be sued.

This coming from someone who told me to "get over it". I guess you use your male supremacy when it suits you.

I guess. I was hoping for criminal action actually. Isn't there a way to have these perverts locked up before they do REAL damage? Just sayin . . .
