Harassment is a normally a tort. This means the injured party has to hire a lawyer on their own dime initially (assuming the jurisdiction allows the recovery of attorney's fees for that particular tort).

IE: The police/courts aren't going to do anything unless the harassment continues and becomes severely disruptive, crosses over into something criminal, or the previous instance severely damaged business operations.

TLDR: If you win you'll get like $5 worth of damages and a several thousand $ attorney bill that the other side might have to pay. The odds of lawyers getting involved are extremely remote unless the in-house counsel is over-paid, extremely bored, and feels like gambling with company $. So, never.

I haven't lifted for years, maybe one month of my life since high school football. I just have that "lump of clay" build, or so I'm told.

Ahh but harassment can also lead to someone feeling their personal well-being is threatened. I feel very very threatened [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Most jurisdictions use a "reasonable person" standard to assess whether or not a feeling of being "threatened" counts as a proper element of the tort of "intentional infliction of emotional distress."

Many jurisdictions also require that there be a provable physical manifestation of said stress (severe nausea, emotional problems, etc.) using a " [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] " face online will likely be admissible as counter evidence to show no objective feelings of being threatened.

If you're actually going to pursue an E-lawsuit, good luck and keep us informed. I'd love to know how this plays out.

NOTE: None of this is legal advice and is simply my understanding basic tort law concepts. I make no warranties for the accuracy of this advice, and under no circumstances are you, or anyone else reading this, my client.

Crazy people on the internet... I don't feel worried about my personal well-being but I do associate with other people i.e. my boss or my g/f who I live with. I am not pursuing a lawsuit. That was your suggestion. I have a simple police case to develop historical evidence if I ever need to take further steps. Many jurisdictions do not need a physical manifestation of stress for a no-contact order.

I honestly don't think it would of been a big deal if they just called Alarti and pranked him that way.

When they called him 10+ times and talked to his bosses is when it becomes pathetic.

Why can't everyone have fun playing this game.

Is RNF really serious for some people? do they really get so angry that try and post RL stuff of people or hurt them financially?

I just like shit posting.
