    "overly robust geezer that makes a living walking behind the elephant with a shovel"

    Ahh, a practitioner of the oft forgotten art of creative defamation.

    And why exactly are Yahoo! liable for this? They never defamed him. Can you sue the printers who make magazines for publishers if the editor of that magazine defames you? Can you Fuck.

    I think the complaint is that yahoo said they prevent abusive messages. And they didn't. They also didn't supply information about the abusers when it was demanded off them

    "The company, the suit said, responded with incomplete or inaccurate information"

    What did they expect, that people fill out their full details, actual name and address etc, when registering with yahoo? They probably got lots of people called Michael Mouse from Florida.
    As for preventing abusive messages, how is describing someone as an "overly robust geezer that makes a living walking behind the elephant with a shovel" abusive? If the guy had said something like "Yo, lawer dude, I'm going to come round to your house and kill you, and bury your dog alive" then I'm sure they wouldn't allow that. This is just typical of the crap you see on the net regarding legalities and rights every day.
