The right to flame someone online has typically been protected by

A Texas judge has ordered an online news site to unveil identifying
details about 178 anonymous commenters on the site. The order came
after a couple, Mark and Rhonda Lesher, sued the numerous anonymous
commenters posting to Topix.com for making what they considered to
