      From: fritz@spamexpire-200808.rodent.frell.theremailer.net              Anyone can file a bogus lawsuit, or a frivolous one with the malicious intent       to harass the accused. It is a felony in some states, a misdimeanor in       others, to do that, especially more than once.              Counter sueing for false allegations and libel, harassment and stalking is not       possible if the person you sue is indigent and living on social security       checks. What can you get if you counter sue? Nothing. It would be a waste       of time and money. If        the person doing the sueing does so in order to harass the accused and knows       he or she can not be counter sued because he/she is indigent and living on       social security, that only makes it look worse for that person.              However, there might be a case for a criminal charge. Filing such lawsuits       for purposes of harassment is illegal, it is a crime. If the person doing the       libel and doing the sueing is also doing something else criminal in taking on       these actions, then        another criminal charge can be filed.              Like it or not, you can put up a website and say that you think the President       should be killed and then state why and say anything you want. It's covered       under free speech. In some countries, doing something like that might tempt       the President to make        the person vanish.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
