My old friend Jeff Merkey is off on a crusade again, this time attempting to get the US Congress to allow users to take organisations like Wikipedia to court for alllowing people to anonymously libel US Citizens.

In order to restore freedom, the protections of the rights of US Citizens, and halt the Wikimedia Foundation and
Wikipedia from creating a subversive government on the internet which is used to attack and libel US citizens
anonymously, we call on the Congress of the United States to revoke Section 230 of the CDA and allow those
harmed by Wikipedia and similair sites to obtain redress from the US Courts. This site is also a meeting place
for pedophiles and sexual deviants.

I like the last sentence there, thrown in just for good measure. Almost an afterthought. During our little fracas, Jeff threatened me with some similar tactics through email. I never posted them, since the email conversation was pretty pathetic.

Still, good to see the Merkeylaw domain back in use again. We’ll see how this one pans out. Thanks to Matt for the link in an earlier post
