So wait, the profile was fake or the incident was fake?

The profile was fake.
I don't know enough about the legailties to say anything. I can bet that a civil case though would be an easy win.
Uhm, excuse me. How does this forum topic fit in under "geek zone" ???
Tech related since it explores the misuse of MYSPACE. It's a lose affiliation but it is the best thing we have going here.
intrawebs. PD is the winner. ;)
i thought it was interesting because it was a case where an online 'troll' caused real world harm. food for thought type of thing.
what section would you put it in CC? heh. i don't like the way they're set-up to be honest. i threw them together in a few hours after Sippy emailed me and said it was kinda lifeless (the forum!)
Oh I don't know. Perhaps a forum area devoted to the stupidity of people and the harm they can unwittingly do.
Not sure I have enough server space here. Heh.
LOL confine it to only news articles and discussion.
And a Weird News Forum area might be cool too. Gardengirl would love one of those if she makes it over here.
I meant discussion of only news articles.
OK so that was all bs? Or is there another incident close to this one?
