    If courts allow schools to suspend students for bullying, which is performed off-campus after school hours, then to be consistent, the rules the courts invent will soon be applied to adults.

    Employers will be allowed to punish employees for behavior outside of work hours. The next step will be message boards. Denny will be allowed to punish PapaG for running a signature for 4 months which quotes jlprk as saying that Aldridge isn't the best player on his team. This will predicate the collapse of America and make China's world takeover even easier.

    Not to tell you the sky is falling, but employers can punish employees for certain types of off employment issues.

    I mostly agree with you, except intellectual property is something very difficult for anyone to "own". Facebook shouldn't have to do anything (then again, their patents and copy rights are also suspect).

    Also the litigants are being complete pussies, it is called freedom of speech for a reason, it means you don't get to control my brain or thoughts or words. The litigants are a bunch of babies in my opinion. In the rough school I went to, you walk this stuff off or toughen up.

    Identity theft is not just making a fake profile. Usually Identity theft is using someone's physical money or capital.

    But simply making a fake profile is not sufficient. Ruining an intangible form of property, that was never "yours" to begin with, is completely different.

    It is not her reputation, it is a collection of thoughts that occur in my brain actually.

    Also the people making the false webpage and facebook, are the ones that are losing credibility. The government has no right to regulate thought.

    What matters is the Constitution. In Australia or Europe you would have a great case though, but you are not entitled to anyone's respect here.

    I still respect you for the record, voluntarily. :]
