hmmm.. I'm annoyed now, who do I sue?

You, the anonymous poster?

The FCC that permits and "regulates" the networks that this and other varied open dialogue and discourse occur on day in and out?

Congre$$ for even thinking they have a divine right to tell people what they can or can not do or say when it comes to their imposing unreasonable boundaries on all for the excesses of some?

Might as well fit me for the cuffs right now. Every troll since 2000 has probably gotten irritated with the screen name alone.

it all depends on what the definition of 'annoying is'. Perspective seems to be the word here.

Depends on no such thing.
It is clearly evident that there are miilions of professional annoyees, and they feel entitled to decide what annoys them:

Merry Christmas
God Bless you
God Bless America
In God we trust
Etc.

I wonder what "Preventing Cyber stalking" will do to neat little features such as Yahoo Alerts?

I wish it were a federal crime to send an email and then immediately call the recipient to tell them they're getting an email.

I have battled many trolls, and been in a flame war or two.

Who's got the bail money?

Want to be in 10 years this has morphed into something impacting political speech?

It won't take more than two or three - how long did it take Bush Jr. to stomp the First Amendment after being elected?
