Just FYI...there has been talk on here before about liability for internet chat when rumors come up. Basically, truth is a defense (and the obvious joke here would be that "truth is a defense" applies here as well), BUT just so you can't say you weren't warned, it would be very easy for "dat dude" to hire a lawyer and subpoena your IP address and sue you for defamation for perpetuating this DDDY thing. I know a bunch of you on here don't have much for the guy. I don't personally know him so I don't have an opinion. But I know enough to know that he has a couple friends who are lawyers and the idea has been floated.
Even though the odds would be very low that he'd prevail, it would be his last laugh on some of you, and you'd still have to burn about 10K defending yourself...Maybe more. It's very cheap ($100 buck filing fee) for someone to sue if they are willing to fire off a complaint for a friend. And the lawyer wouldn't need anything other than a good faith basis that there could possibly be a cause of action in order to keep himself out of trouble. After that, it's $250 an hour for whoever gets sued, and those hours roll by very quickly.
Seems like it's over the line to be using people's real name on an internet board, even if you feel they deserve it.
Thats my $.02. I'll shut up now. Carry on.
