“your ideas actually constitute conspiracy to commit a crime”
Can you name it?
Is this crime in the room with us now?
“ and a recruitment effort.”
To what?
“According to the FBI agent I spoke to, your childish ideas amount to a conspiracy to commit internet fraud, internet vandalism and theft of bandwidth.”
REEEEEALLY?
We quote idiots, and link to where those idiots’ quotes came from. Where is the fraud?
The initial posts are left pristine, not altered in anyway.
I’d be interested in seeing how our linking to the source affects their bandwidth capacity.
"Others have attempted to spam our site with porn. When they do that,”
Which we have not…
“the charges also include contributing to the delinquency of a minor,”
People reading our site can see yours. People reading your site generally don’t know we exist.
“distributing harmful materials to a minor”
As above.
“ and (possibly) distributing child pornography.”
Bit of a leap, what? If Half-Life talks stupid, quoting his stupidity here adds nothing pornish to the source.
“In additional to the federal criminal charges, a civil liability exists for any costs we incur,”
What costs could you incur for being quoted?
“time lost,”
You’re on the internet. Bill me for internet time lost by being on the internet.
"emotional distress and punitive damages.”
Please, please, please tell a judge that our quoting you directly is the source of distress when you see your words on the site. Ask for a billion dollars.
