It's not debatable. It's a fact.
Whether you want to call it "abuse" or not, it's these people's behavior that will cause restrictions on speech.

Taking people to court under the accordance of local law is also a freedom, so looks like you don't have an argument there. Slayers Jessica is exercising her freedoms (which seems to be the most important thing to you,) so what is your issue here?

What are rights when it's abused for the pure purpose of hurting another individual?

You Americans do say in constitution, Slander, no protection First Amendment. Right? Abuse Freedom, Slander. So no protection

LOL since when the fuck has cyber bulling ever been limited to directly forcing someone to look at anything, or posting in a place you'd have to struggle to avoid. But yes, they were in a place she'd have to struggle to avoid, it's her friggin' career.

There's nothing inherently virtuous about freedom. If you want total freedom, you should move to Somalia where there is anarchy and no state government. If I wanted freedom to kill people, you think that would be okay? You would say no, then I would ask you where you draw the line for when my freedom to do what I want crosses the line into making life miserable for others.

bullying is something that, no matter the number of awareness groups and good faith, is never going to simply fade away. similarly, people willing to snipe away at the reputations of public figures from behind the anonymous veil of a computer with internet won't, either. in the case of the latter, those public figures have to have thick skins to enter professions and fields that require exposure. I happen to think this sort of reaction showcases the sort of self-esteem that simply isn't adequate to fill the position that jessica currently occupies, and that she should consider talking to a counselor before something like this - a perfectly normal process, especially with an issue as loaded as females in professional gaming - has the chance to get to her in such a way again.

Shakespeare say best, Reputation is immortal part of person. No reputation, person bestial left. Good Public image very important. And for Eve she get bad image first time on scene, Not good for esport career

I believe in freedom of speech way too much to ever support people's thoughts online being handed to the police for discipline action to be taken.
SlayerS_Eve must realize that being a pro gamer WILL get her put in the public spotlight, with that there will always be haters and supporters. You need to either ignore the haters or have a thick skin, reporting people who say something bad about you to the police is a pathetic measure to take.
SlayerS_Jessica is going about this all in the wrong way, massive overreaction.
My respect for SlayerS_Jessica just went from infinitely high to rock bottom.

this is not how you argue maturely. equating the freedom to express mildly negative views of someone's public life with the freedom to end someone's life is ridiculous, end of story.

I posted in great depth about exactly how she's entitled to bring suit against whoever she wants in this matter. That's what what I'm talking about in the quote you left.
I was attacking the platitude I quoted, which is staggeringly offbase.
@FabledIntegral: http://www.ncsl.org/default.aspx?tabid=13495
The essentially random posting of "offensive" images does not qualify as Cyberstalking, Cyberharassment, or Cyberbullying. Hence: "This isn't bullying." Put a line break after that sentence when you read my post if you'd like.

What u said here is so important.
But what is also worth mentioning, is that there is a price for being in the spotlight. Look at IdrA how much flak he gets. Imagine how many people who has to be put in jail for flaming him?

But total freedom is like chaos. That's why laws. Laws give order. With no order humans don't get along good.

Most of the "males" of the comunity don't really understand how it feels for a girl to enter in computer game competition. If a "male" person would have been recruited that noone knew anything about him ...almost nobody would have even checked his profile. LIke 70% of the people were just oh oh she is gold level ... but they didn't even think :wait she won a tournament( even if it was a girl tournament we most of us know girls at master lvl or higher) . BUT JUST BECAUSE SHE IS A GIRL - people thought she was REALLY bad. I can go on but would it matter? ..

Except you ignored the question: so where do you draw the line? Somewhere arbitrary and based on your own personal sense of morality? Exactly, your view of where freedom of speech (and all freedom) begins and ends is an OPINION.
There's clear legal limitations where it begins and ends in America, and I presume in Korea as well. So the point is that it doesn't matter what the fuck you think the limits SHOULD be, the law decides that.

This freedom of speech bullshit excuse needs to stop.
Go say "go screw yourself" to a local cop, let's see if he is not allowed to throw you into jail.
"but i have freedom speech"
And if you come with the excuse "but its police" then you just contradicted your own statement since suddenly you don't have some much freedom anymore.

Sometimes you lose more of your reputation by being petty and vengeful rather than just let the minor nuisances of life play themselves out. That seems to be the case here.

The principle of freedom of speech applies except when there is a legal exception. The argument that the charges are ridiculous is saying that these posts aren't breaking the law, and therefore fall under freedom of speech allowances, not the other way around.
I get that Korean law allows for damage to reputation be prosecuted, but there doesn't seem to be any disagreement about that point.

I'm slightly disappointed in Jessica's decision and I think she's overreacting a little, but it's not caused me to lose any respect for her.
