Ok, I made a comic . http://www.stripcreator.com/view.php?ID=21482

One person found it offensive (the subject in question left unnamed) and belives he can sue me for Internet Harrasment (which is a crime or something where I live)

I forgot to ask what in Satan's jockstrap that comic was supposed to mean.

What others say about boorite!

Heh, I wouldnt bother asking, but can he sue me (the person in question think i was mocking his dead bro)

Um, the 'where you live' and 'whether or not it's a crime there' things would be nice to know in attempting to answer your question. You can sue people for some things in some places that you can't sue them for elsewhere.

Do you live in a trailer in Arkansas by any chance?

Scotland, and Internet Harrasment is a crime. What I want to know is if this is harrasment or not and can he prove who he is.

Just fling a haggis at him.

Or tell him to polish your caber.

I did some looking around, and apparently you can get in trouble for "internet harrassment" if you direct a message towards someone with the intention of inflicting emotional harm. I do not think that posting a comic here exactly constitutes direct harrassment, though. (Then again, there is probably a lawyer out there who could figure out a way to define what you are doing that way.)

As long as you do not continue to antagonize this person, I would think his or her case would be rather weak. Harrassment usually implies repeated actions. Without a pattern of harrassment, most cases can be simply dismissmed as a single case of bad judgment.

But don't quote me on this. Free legal advice is worth what you pay for it...

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

Now he can sue me, too.

You can probably be sued for not using any punctuation in your comic.

If offending people on the Internet is a crime, we're all in deep trouble.

So, what, if I talk shit about this guy's dead brother down at the pub, and he overhears me, can he sue me for that too? Jesus.

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

I think the intent is the important part. That, and doing it repeatedly, just to inflict harm on the person...
