It's about Chris Calvin of Missouri City who started a blog and went by a bunch of different Internet identities in his quest to give his opinions about the master-planned community Sienna Plantation.
"I wanted to communicate what was going on in the community," Calvin said.
But as he continued to blog Calvin started using other screen names. 'Jane L', 'Buddy J', 'Jim Calhoun 1' - dozens by the time it was done. He admitted using 24 names. And that was when Sienna Plantation's developer had enough.
Now the developer is suing Calvin.
Sienna Plantation Attorney John Keville explained, "Chris Calvin can say any opinion he wants as long as he puts his name on it. Chris Calvin can't be a mob of 30 people."
This is an interesting case to watch as many people like to be anonymous on the net.
It's even more interesting when you factor in stuff Oberg didn't mention. Via TheBuzzMachine, you can't annoy people over the Internet anymore. The way the law is worded as Jarvis puts it, is troubling. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
