Fucking hell. All these "online harassment" and defamation cases really piss me off. If someone posts mean shit about me on the Internet, I'm not going to call in sick to work tomorrow and then demand compensation from the person who posted the mean shit. That would just make me an emotionally weak person who can't take personal responsibility for my job that needs to be done. Seems more and more of these cases are being ruled in favor of the plaintiff. Dark times we live in.

I couldn't really give a shit about what he said, blah blah it's the internet get over yourself etc.. But 105,00 FUCKING DOLLARS. I would saw a finger off for 100 grand. So this is where tax money goes. Holy shit, I've seen people get less for losing limbs, never mind a fucking twitter comment. I also don't understand how people get this kind of money for a fly shit in thier crisps etc. Wow, you NEARLY ALMOST ate the crisp with a fly shit on it, and you get 50,000$? Like really? This woman deserves 100$ at the very most, I know most people would forget about a comment for 100$

I don't see the reason for this being posted here.

Sounds like the judge was mad the kid didn't care enough about this so he made a ridiculous ruling out of spite.

I'm sure he will appeal

So someone insulted her on twitter and she stopped going to work claiming health reasons? Then why aren't our kids constantly dying because they're calling each other doody-heads?

That's scary. Are people not entitled to their opinion now. What next, are Christians gonna sues every Atheist facebook page/Youtube channel. and than demand compensation. The stupidity.
