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 a usenet post isn't anything like a crime, and believe me,
I've seen plenty of it. Unless the forger actually uses another
poster's e-mail addie, it isn't even forging. It's known as "frogging"
in fact.... Making statements like you just have above will get you
nothing but a CNOTM award.

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.


Or fruitcake in your case.

You'd have to show some sort of damage to use these appellations.

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.

I saw it too, but THAT is hard to believe! Mxmoron has ****ed off what
would probably constitute a major city population, is still "on the air",
and I'm sure a good percentage has been ****ed enough to complain.

Maybe they have a "3,000,000 strikes and you're out" policy?

I didn't complain because I didn't know they had an anti-trolling policy.

Maybe I'll turn off my filter and see if he's still trolling....

Maybe they're at 2,999,999 and holding....

Mx has forged my moniker on several postings in the sim group, so if you
see someone post something uncharacteristic for that particular
individual, check it out before jumping on them. Mx has a really tough
time replicating a normal human being, so it usually sticks out...

What a piece of useless vermin..... And people still pander to the
psychopath.... Amazing....

Send the post (Including headers) to abuse at giganews.

Fromhttp://www.giganews.com/legal/aup.html
Altered Headers
Falsifying header lines to obscure the originating server, to attribute a
post to someone else, to falsely indicate moderator approval, or to make an
original post look like a followup are serious abuses of our service and
will result in immediate account termination

Also, I just noticed their acceptable use polity prohibits trolling:

Trolling
Trolling is the practice of maliciously trying to incite others that use a
newsgroup, to deviate from the stated topic of the group. In other words,
trolling is an attempt to anger others to the point of drawing them into an
argument or an off topic debate. Giganews does not tolerate trolling and
will terminate service of those who abuse the service in this manner.


Well they don't sound like they're much fun.

I'm absolutely certain Mxmoron has heard every legal defense possible!!!
How could a no account piece of **** like this have survived otherwise??

What a rude, stoopid ass you are. A waste of breathing good air.

Butt out, buttman. Grow up. Throw a temper tantrum elsewhere.

plonk.

You're just a little turd, not worthy of any capital letters in the plonk.

Not even worthy of my sig line.
