THERE IS A CERTAIN CRACKPOT WHO LIKES TO WRITE A LITTLE READ BLOG SMEARING ME. IN A RECENT COMMENT SENT TO ME BY A READER OVER THERE, THE UNIDITENTIFIED SHAMED ONE CHIDED ME OVER A FEW POINTS AND ALSO SEEMS TO STILL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH READING COMPREHENSION.
FIRST, THERE ARE BILLS BEING CONSIDERED. REMEMBER THAT I HAD SAID THAT CONGRESS IS CONSIDERING LEGISLATION. WELL, IT HAS STARTED. THERE IS A BILL WORKING THROUGH CONGRESS THAT IF PASSED WOULD END THE PRACTICES SUCH AS THOSE BY THE SHAMED ONES:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.1966:
THIS BILL IS AIMED AT THE CYBERBULLYING AT THE TEENAGED LEVEL BUT WOULD AFFECT ADULT CYBERBULLYING AS WELL.
NOW FOR MY SECOND POINT. THE ASHAMED AUTHOR DID NOT READ THE COMMENT I MADE REGARDING THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING THE NAME OF AN AUTHOR BEHIND SUCH ATTACKS. THE ASHAMED POINTED OUT I COULD GET A COURT ORDER, MISSING THE POINT (MOST LIKELY ON PURPOSE) THAT ONE HAS TO GO THROUGH THE CONVOLUTED PROCESS OF GETTING ONE.
YOU DO NOT SIMPLY GO TO A JUDGE AND SAY "GIVE ME A COURT ORDER, JUDGE, I WANT TO KNOW WHO IS SAYING THOSE THINGS ABOUT ME."
THERE IS A PROCESS, A LONG, EXPENSIVE AND CONVOLUTED ONE TO GET SAID COURT ORDER.
AND YES, DEAR AUTHOR, CONGRESS IS CONSIDERING REQUIRING THAT THE HOSTS OF BLOGS (SUCH AS BLOGGER) CARRY LIABILITY INSURANCE AND THAT THE HOSTING COMPANY BE MORE LIABLE FOR THE CONTENT OF BLOGS ON THEIR SITES.
READ THE THOMAS REGISTER SOMETIME, YOU MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING
