Annoy Me and Go To Jail

Well, I would say that the Courts will never uphold this, but now, I'm not so sure.

I can see the helicopters hovering in the distance.

our enlightened lawmakers have make it a federal crime to annoy people on the internet under the cloak of anonymity. since i post under my real name, i'm immune and can still annoy you all i want.

however, if you have a "handle"/"alias"/"username" and you annoy me, i will see that you are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and preferably sent to gitmo where you'll be beaten repeatedly about the head with a koran or something.

Those must be the super-silent helicopters I can't hear yet...

I can already see that the courts are going to get overwhelmed with these types of cases...

Annoying someone via the Internet is now a federal crime.

It's no joke. Last Thursday, President Bush signed into law a prohibition on posting annoying Web messages or sending annoying e-mail messages without disclosing your true identity.

<snip>

To grease the rails for this idea, Sen. Arlen Specter, a Pennsylvania Republican, and the section's other sponsors slipped it into an unrelated, must-pass bill to fund the Department of Justice. The plan: to make it politically infeasible for politicians to oppose the measure.

The tactic worked. The bill cleared the House of Representatives by voice vote, and the Senate unanimously approved it Dec. 16.

Unbelievable! You don't say? Who is this Bush guy you are talking about? Ok I hand it to him e-flairs and immature name-calling is rediculous, stalking, etc. too but that's a matter of IQ ... onf the part of the reader's, isn't it? Basically everything that happens in Cyberspace is only in the head of the one who actively goes onto it. So what's the problem? If Bush thinks **** ... what does he get? **** or 5 dots? So where's the name-calling of abuse? In **** or in **** = 5 dots?

Weird!

huh....
Send the helicopters... I have a sling shot...

Mmm J.P. Biotales ... if figuers. J.P. for J.R. Ewing. Is real name. I vouch for it! Anyone wants to vouch for my name, T.H Argo Spier = The Honourable Argospier. Sounds nice, eh? Say, maybe this Bush guy - male is he? - isn't so dumb! People will start taking notice of each other's names. Web can become very convivial! Also down with names lik knwcsd3364 etc.

My real name is not Brady. It is Horatio Hornblower.

And don't forget the torture.

Hey, just in time to bury PA for all its tone letters that don't have any signatures. Just think! Everyone of the staff could be liable unless someone steps forward as the culprit. Think after the first one that anyone else will ever leave their name off?

Since we all seem to annoy William, I guess we're all going to jail.

Ah. Finally I'll have the time and peace and quiet to write my novel.

Hey Brady, if you wear a tinfoil beanie the helicopters won't see you.

Not that I do that or anything....

:::annoys Haskins just for fun::::

No really, is this true? Can one enforce a law like this? How can it be proved that I am actually writing this ... I mean it is YOU who are reading these 'words'; you who think the black thingies here are words. Secondly, YOU are the one who read categorial semantic value (meaning) INTO them. Look, all I have done in this post so far was creatively played on my keyboard as if it were a piano. I am an artist, see? All these 'letters' (proof to me the black on this white are letters!) ... 'Oh, YOU are reading meaning into them! How interesting!'

There is no possible way that such a law can be enforced!


Not signed!


(Pssst! Just to be on the safe side I don't play the notes that mightl form my name in your eyes!)

Often times a statute will be deemed "unconstitutionally vague" because it is not specific enough to give notice as to what conduct actually constitutes an offense.

I think that is certainly the case here.

Yeah, they're working to fix that little loophole, aren't they?

caw.

Haskins,

I need not ask for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.

Name omitted for sundry annoying reasons.

Well, my real name is Celia Cyanide, so you can't touch me, Haskins!
