OK, it isn't nice, at all, to hear about this kind of thing happening ANYWHERE. But it's a relief that the latest publicized case didn't happen in media fandom!

Thought process:
1. Wow, that's douchey.
2. OMG epic RL troll!
3. ...lol
4. Nope, still douchey.

Wow. Put this on fanthropology.

This is the first time I've seen that there is legal recourse to this kind of situation. Fascinating.

This man thought he could use harassment via technology to overwhelm people who are at the least accredited scholars on ancient languages, divergent cultures and theologies from a variety of religions?

In this case, this person pretended to be another living person. Not a created Indian, German soldier, etc. etc. etc.

But to sockpuppet over sacred texts? God will get you for that...you, and all your sockpuppets, too!

(True note...as I typed sockpuppet, I first typed suckpuppet, then sickpuppet....I think the terms should be interchangable!)
