Cyber-stalking resources
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. Donna |

I didn't bother reporting the nasty, threatening email I got because it was sent through an anonymous re-mailer (and quite a few of these posts are sent the same way). In those cases, I don't think there's anything that can be done since the re-mailer host is in another country! Hugs, CatNipped |

NC law doesn't accept this type of behavior. http://www.wiredsafety.org/cyberstalking_harassment/us_states/northcarolina.html (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. -- Cheryl |

Guess what, genius? When it's a fact, it's not defaming, libeling, or slandering. Everything I have claimed about Dan Mahoney of Highland, California is not only true but completely documented in public records. 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? Why, yes, I think we might have a few attorneys posting here. 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. What Dan has done in lying to us, derailing the adoption we planned for Conan, and putting him in a cage for two weeks is fact. My speaking out against what he has done and urging him to take this cat to the home we had planned, or to any home, is my legal right and, in my view, a moral imperative. So sure, let's go. Bring it to litigation. I haven't spent my mad money for the past three quarters. :O) |

Why is this arguing on rpca, instead of on the newsgroup where it
started? I don't know a damn thing about what Dan has or has not done, and honestly, I don't care. I come here to read stories about cats, not look at thread after thread of name-calling, finger-pointing, disgusting images, and arguing about an issue I have never been involved in and that has nothing to do with me. If you have an issue with someone, TAKE IT TO EMAIL or TAKE IT TO INSTANT MESSENGER or something. PLEASE keep it from disturbing everyone else who has never been involved with it! --Fil |

I think this is a great idea. Call the FBI, and I will tell them all about my Free Conan campaign. You are such an idiot, Cheryl. |
