Who would be the victim? Someone with the initials Mx? If a person can be damaged by posts forged with his pseudonym, then a person can be damaged by accusations directed to his pseudonym. You cannot have your cake and eat it, too. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Mx has forged my moniker on several postings in the sim group, ... Identity theft is a serious crime. Unless you are able to support your allegation with incontestable fact, you are guilty of libel, for which you are open to prosecution, sir. Forging USENET monikers is "identity theft"? Worse, it's a crime? And falsely accusing one of forging said monikers is libel? Sir, I think you need to step into the real world yourself. ![]() -- John T http://sage1solutions.com/blogs/TknoFlyer Reduce spam.

If a person posts with a name that clearly associates the post with a real person (or allows this to be done easily), and someone impersonates him in a post using the same name, with a post that damages his reputation, he may have a claim against the forger. Similarly, if a person false accuses someone of forgery and this results in some sort of real-world prejudice against that person (cancellation of an account, trouble with an employer, etc.), then the person accused also has a claim. If it's just a matter of trading worthless insults in cyberspace alone, there generally is nothing to justify legal action. If you think someone is forging your posts, and you wish to complain, there are some things you should keep in mind. First is that, unless it is a very egregious case of forgery that does real damage to you, most ISPs and providers will ignore your complaints. Second is that, if it does damage you in some way, you need to be able to provide that objectively; hurt feelings and pride do _not_ count. Third is that, if your posts are being forged, you can point out the forgery and complain about it, but don't accuse anyone of it specifically unless you have objective proof--because, if you are wrong, and the other person suffers any damage as a result of your accusation, you could find yourself in quite a bit of hot water, much more than you bargained for. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

It's known as "frogging" in fact.... Making statements like you just have above will get you nothing but a CNOTM award. |
