Be careful with what you post on the internet. Anonymity is not protected. I understand the defamation/slander issues with this lawsuit, but it seems to me the amount of ($$) is a bit over the top.

If they continued to participate and keep those threads going themselves, then they are partly to blame. They could have always left.

Fires burn out more quickly without fuel.

But, I certainly do not have all the facts of the case.

It does seem a bit steep, but I think the jury wanted to send a clear message to all the trolls on the Internet: You are not anonymous, you can be sued, and your victim can be awarded a bundle.
