The Dord of Darien

Musings from the Mayor of the Internet

Namecalling? On the internet? How could this be?

So apparently some dude in New York is all offended that somebody else put up a web site calling him a douche, and is trying to sue the other dude for (get this) twenty million dollars.

Now, I’ll be the first person to admit that I’m not a lawyer of any description, but I’m fairly sure they haven’t made any laws against calling somebody else a douche on the internet yet. If they have, my minister of lame insults informs me that roughly 70% of people who have ever posted on Slashdot or played World of Warcraft are in line to get sued before this guy, "Ronn."

But let me know how you get on with that lawsuit. Since, frankly, somebody once called me a "big queer homofag," and I’m thinking that’s worth at least forty million dollars.
