SO true! Here's a link to that story!
Of course, OF COURSE it happened in Florida.

Fuck's sake, it's always Florida when something truly beyone belief happens.

eBay user comment leads to legal woes

> Posted by Barbara Hijek on April 12, 2010 07:06 AM
Elliot Miller, of Miami Beach, defended his e-reputation.



He's suing Michael Steadman, of Cape Canaveral, because Steadman gave him a negative review on eBay.

Steadman bought a $44 time clock for his welding business from Miller. Steadman said when the clock arrived it was actually three pieces of varying models that didn't fit together and couldn't stamp a card, as it had been advertised it could. He returned it and got a refund through PayPal.

But he felt it was his duty to warn others.

So on Miller's profile he wrote: "Bad seller; he has the ethics of a used car salesman."

Miller, a South Florida lawyer, turned around and sued Steadman for $15,000, claiming he ruined his reputation and 100 percent satisfaction rating, reports Florida Today.

Steadman said: "It's not safe to say anything online. You don't have a freedom of speech. The laws don't work for us. Because I don't have the money to fight them, I'm losing. It's not right. I'm speechless."

You can't say "not to be racist" and then say something that is really quite racist. Language does not grant you a get out of jail free card.

Exactly, stupidity is not limited to one race, but all races. Stupid people come in all shapes, sizes, colors, genders, sexual orientations, religions, etc.

One of the comments from the Orange Juice Escapade reads as follows:

"No, natural selection is real, we broke it with medical science".

Actually we broke it when we started wearing clothes, hunting with weapons, farming crops and living in huts. Medical science only compounds matters.

Not that it's important. It's not as if evolution is some divine path to a species' genetic perfection....but that's quite a bit off topic.

Though yes, PW was being rather offensive and prejudiced, if not exactly racist. Just the phrase "typically ethnic" is almost laughably ignorant. I mean, we are all "ethnic" of one sort or another, are we not?
