Since there seems to be no shortage of harassment taking place
these days, right down to veiled threats to contact people's
employers, here is the URL of a site that belongs to the US
Department of Justice.

http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/vawo/grants...98/appende.htm

There are laws against people posting defamatory content online,
as well as using the internet as a way to stalk or harass
people.

Have we any attorneys posting or lurking here who might like to
provide input, perhaps on things like the proper method of
seeking legal redress against online stalking and harassment?

It appears, at least to my non-legally-trained eye, that some
behavior on this board has exceeded the boundaries of mere
trolling. There are posts on this newsgroup that might well give
the intended victim legal recourse to take action against the
persons who've posted them.

I think that anyone being harrassed by Mary (who lives in NC)
needs to report her to the FBI. NC law doesn't accept this type
of behavior.

(b) It is unlawful for a person to:

(2) Electronically mail or electronically communicate to another
repeatedly, whether or not conversation ensues, for the purpose of
abusing, annoying, threatening, terrifying, harassing, or
embarrassing any person.

Just a note in general, but its interesting how people scream for freedom of
speech, til they hear what they don't want to hear then they scream for
censorship

This is true. But then, I am now Public Enemy Number One for wanting
to spring a 14-lb tabby from cruel imprisonment. (I don't think Conan
is wanted for anything--or by anyone, for that matter.)
