OT: Whatever Next?

I got lost in the leagaleese.. does it mean I can or can't annoy people on the net because I use my real name? LoL, Or does it mean if I do they can prosecute me? And what is to prohibit someone from using my name (or someone else's) simply claiming that I annoy them? Laws that cannot be upheld or make it too easy to be abused are false laws and will eventually get replaced with marginally better adaptations of the law.

Nuf said, Cheers!

P.S. now wasn't this an annoying post? care to report me?

Hey, most political sites annoy me.
I guess I could take a lot of politicians to court.

Well, after grinding through the legalease, it looks like as long as you use your real name, you won't be affected. So, David, you're free to be as annoying as you like, but I on the other hand must behave myself.

Except I don't live in the States, so I think I'll educate US senators on the futility of trying to legislate the internet by sending them annoying emails, mocking them from outside their juristiction.

I wonder if the law would apply to all the uber-l33t n00b-basher!!!11's in WoW, AO, etc. If so then,

/me staples a copy of the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act to their collective foreheads.
