RFJason finally served in lawsuit
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, an actual lawsuit against RFJason, and not just the more traditional Internet Lawyering.

It seems that it took quite a while for the authorities to catch up with him to serve him for a suit related to the Craigslist stunt he pulled a couple of years ago. The claim isn't about the harassment, though. Instead, Mr. Fortuny's victim is instead claiming copyright violation over the photo he included with his Craigslist reply, which was reposted as a part of the 2006 stunt. The victim sent Mr. Fortuny a DMCA takedown notice, which was not only ignored, but even encouraged Fortuny to repost the picture.

Fortuny, as always, claims he was performing a public service about protecting one's privacy online.

Slashdot has a discussion on the topic as well.

I hope Fortuny gets his ass handed to him in court. Perhaps it'll teach him that throwing a brick in someone's window isn't teaching that person about security, but simply vandalism (at least) or breaking and entering. In any case, I do expect Fortuny to present the most batshit insane defense that the judge in question has heard this year (or next, depending on when the case goes to trial.

Delicious! I hope the judge/jury can get past "EW BDSM!" and punish him properly.

Awww, pookie. They don't loves you anymore, does they?

Okay, okay, snark aside, I am thrilled about this lawsuit and hope the judicial system is severe in its' justice.

Where did Alya's comment disappear to, and your statement about unfunnybusiness?

From a "gut feeling" perspective, I'd like rfjason punished. From a "future legal implications" standpoint, I don't think I want the lawsuit won on any of the grounds under which they're suing.

I'm assuming he realised we would eat him. Us big mean girls from high school and our insistence on holding people accountable when they say stupid things.

So, they're claiming copyright? Oh lord.

The ufb stuff was removed because I had second thoughts about it. Yes, I know about screencaps. I don't really care. If the lot of you find it that important, okay, do whatever with it.

Sometimes, though, I'm beginning to wonder if I've confused JF for 4chan.

No. But, you've apparently missed JF participants calling people out for editing wankiness in their posts, deleting comments etc. It's taboo. An obvious one at that.

*sigh*

photosinensis, no one here needs your permission to mock you. We do that. We're a community based around mocking.

What's pathetic is that you apparently felt so butthurt that people called you out for doing foolish and thoughtless things, like confusing American with The Whole Of The World, that you needed to remind us all that we had called you out on it.

Dude, we get bored. You know that. If you'd just never mentioned it again, most of us would have forgotten about it.

And now you're going to delete comments and give us permission, and we're going to eat you. As much as I would like to feel bad for you, and I really did when I saw how out of control things had gotten over on UFB, you are not new. You know this.

Take your lumps like an adult. Consider it teaching you the value of thinking before you type. Like trolling teaches people the value of not being vulnerable or something.

I never was that kind of confused. That's another discussion for another forum, though. Contact me on your own time and not in public--I don't want another dogpile over that crap.

As for the comment in the first place, yes, I realize it was wanky. Yes, I covered it up and did a piss poor job of it. I did realize that the lot of you probably have not only screencaps of that. I honestly don't give a damn about what the lot of you think. I just didn't feel that the first sentence really fits with the rest of the post. If you'd like me to start another thread for that discussion, okay, fine.

However, I'm not dealing with y'all in bad faith, not that anyone seems to care. I don't understand why I was banned--I spoke my mind in about the most muddled and confusing way possible, yes, and in so doing shoved my foot in my mouth.

I'm freezing this thread now in order to prevent yet another lynch mob. If you want to reply to the post, please contact me off-thread, mmkay?

One moment. I don't see it here, but I am getting a screencap of the version in my inbox. I don't think she deleted it, though.

As for editing my own post to delete bullshit, that's my own business.

Well, now I'm wondering who deleted it, because I sure didn't!

With her comment disappearing combined with your edit to your post, it looked like you deleted it. If you didn't, okay.

As for editing my own post to delete bullshit, that's my own business.

It probably would have gone over better if you had added an ETA when you made the edit saying something like "Added to remove my own wanky sniping" or whatever.

Even so, the edit to the post is something I would have let pass if it hadn't been combined with Alya's comment disappearing.

The only thread I froze was one that I specifically said I didn't want replies here on, simply because it had more to do with an earlier dogpile, and had taken a turn towards material that belonged in my personal journal.

small point of order:

I just fear that while this all has been a valid tangent, we are all overlooking the very important news that [info]rfjason is about to have the fact that is is a fuckstick enshrined into actual legal documents.

Which just makes my pink parts tingle.

I never cease to be amazed that nobody has paid a visit to Jason Fortuny in order to wield a RL banhammer on him. The guy is such a persistent and dedicated douchebag, it seems inevitable that someone would try to rearrange his anatomy.

This lawsuit has been a long time in the works, and it couldn't happen to a more deserving individual.

Just last night my husband was saying that it was surely only a matter of time before one of these guys got served with a lawsuit. (Or, for that matter, with a RL banhammer, as you put it.) When I told him about the lawsuit at hand, he said, "I wouldn't sue for ant money. I'd sue for no use of or access to computer equipment for the rest of his life."

I agree, but I also think Fortuny has the potential to do something even more damaging than he already has, just for more "lulz" (i.e. attention).
