Mystery to me. Why was he exempt from court fees? Why would the solicitors represent him on a conditional fee arrangement with that sort of case? Wasn't it relevant that his proper name was not known? How can one slander an avatar?

PS I am searching CUK for any previous nasty comments about me and will sue you all.

The nature of bulletin boards, para. 13 onwards:

"...uninhibited, casual and ill thought out" - CHECK

"...akin to slanders" - CHECK

"...mere vulgar abuse" - CHECK

"...people are just saying the first thing that comes into their heads" - CHECK

That's all right then - carry on everybody

Where they talking specifically about General or cuk in general?
