Appeals court: First Amendment protects forum trolls too

[Jim]

The story starts out like this. 10 anonymous individuals posted on Yahoo's message boards in 2005 about Krinsky, her company (SFBC), and two other officers at her company. These posters regularly made what the judge described as "scathing verbal
attacks" against these officers. This included referring to the trio as "a management consisting of boobs, losers and crooks," and with one poster (Doe 6) describing Krinsky when he said "I will reciprocate felatoin [sic] with Lisa even though she has fat thighs, a fake medical degree, 'queefs' and has poor feminine hygiene."
