I'm in Texas, Plaintiff is in California. I have not found any caselaw that covers this one. It's not your usual online defamation suit. Plaintiff is claiming injury suffered because of allegedly defamatory screen names posted in a chat room. The screen names were spoofing the screen names used by plantiff and did not contain the real name of the plaintiff. As an example, plaintiff's screen name could be "Great6hammer" and the spoof name that is called defamatory would have been "Great6liar" or "Great6pravaricates" or "Great6fool". Are you kidding me? Anyone that's ever been in a chatroom knows this goes on all the time and plaintiff could have left any time. Defendant did not type into the room at all, the name was posted in the roster window that shows the names of the chatters even if they don't chat. I'm sure this is worth a million dollars in a court of law. I have no money, no savings, no house, no insurance, no lawyer and lots of bills so why would someone sue over this?
