i agree jessica overreacted but as she said, its a re-occurring problem and she wanted to act upon it.
and the korean law does allow punishment for such acts.

he didnt really lose much of his rep, the community was pretty divided between people who didnt like him and people who did so id say the majority have pretty mcuh forgotten about it with that punishment so all he really lost was a job of an undisclosed salary (if he even got one)

I disagree. People should be expect to act with a minimum level of class, and be punished if they act with lack of it. People should strive to be higher and higher class. These acts of lack of class shouldn't be tolerated and should be punished and made an example of.

The fact that you honestly think people should go to prison over meaningless words typed over something as impersonal as the internet baffles me. Should everyone that says "fuck you" to someone get arrested too? Just throw 90% of the world's population in prison if so, because they don't have "class."

why?
why do the people of "higher class" have the right to force there views and beliefs on us "lower class" people?

thats the weird thing about america...for any controversial issue, some people dont care, some people like it, some people hate it but in the end, it doesn't effect the person in question very much.
its veeeery different in korea.
hence why there's a law to protect people from trolls in the first place.

sometimes i get the feeling some of the Americans are so brainwashed with the whole freedom of speech, that every excrement that comes out in form of toughts from their brains is considered valid, and you don't actually have to think before you speak, because even if you are so bloody wrong, you have the right to be wrong.
which is false.
there was a discussion on TL similiar to this one, where guy from Scandinavia that lived on both continents analyzed the situation and said it fascinated him how in Europe kids are thought to be critical in thinking, while in the States everything is so emphasized on the individual, kids just grow up thinking every aspect of their individuality is so precious that they are actually rewarded for having a stance on something, no matter true or false.

A lot of stuff has gone terribly awry, so that's not really an argument against these laws 
For the record there are laws like this in the US too, in particular emotional abuse against children is a crime, as it should be.
TBH, I really don't see the point of defending free speech in these situations. It's not like any sensible person wants to reserve the right to be a complete dick. Even if there's no legal barrier the downside is massive. You might end up acting like this in the wrong environment and you're fucked (see orb). So I guess it's either a fear of a slippery slope where legitimate ideas get banned or a weird fetish for the abstract idea of free speech.

Don't worry the guy isn't going to go to prison. Most of the time the way these things go is that the troll is apologetic and says he won't ever do it again and it gets settled out of court.

Jessicas about 20 years to old to be called a kid

if this dude is korean, he's so screwed. they don't play that in korea
|
i'm happy with this, these trolls need to be shut down one way or another, this is just pure disrespect, abusing internet because you think you can say anything behind your computer.
and I'm pretty sure this guy knows Jessica's personality, even pushing that is just pure retardation.

When you can't handle someone, you give away your power to them. And that puts you in the victim role, which is a role with no silver lining. being a "victim" requires that you accept that role by an "offender".

Then they should strive to have better class.
Let's throw jessica's action aside for now.
Now let's see, it seems like many of you are supporting cyber defamation and think it's the norm, it's ok, it's the right thing to do. but now is it really?
Maybe it's the immaturity of the community, and tolerance for a lack of class that gives gamers stigmas and make scenes struggle to take off?
Have you considered all the good things that can happen if some of you acted that you are actually against having no class rather than supporting it?
Do you all consider the consequences of supporting cyber dickery as a community when you open your mouth at all? ( or typing shit on a forum in this case)

A TL user from Scandinavia. Sounds like a bloody expert to me. I think you could read over your own words, and perhaps learn about yourself from yourself.

If you seriously want to make a person pay up to 44,000 dollars and possibly spend 7 years in prison just because your feelings were hurt online, you don't deserve to exist. If you want to risk 44,000 dollars and risk spending 7 years in prison just to hurt someone's feelings, you don't deserve to exist. See what I did there? This guy knew the law, he knew the risks of what he was doing, and he went ahead and did it anyway. He wanted to insult Jessica THAT badly? Agreed. Similar lawsuits against people trolling on the internet has happened countless times in SK before. Heck, even KT almost sued someone for flaming Flash.These things are serious business in South Korea, and these people should have known better. That doesn't mean the law is right. I mean come on, would you argue against someone who is fighting a racist or misogynistic government who enforces the law in kind? "But that black person should've known better than to sit at the front of the bus...the country has laws for segregation and she should obey them." I think we should all be able to agree these status quo kinds of statements are void in this argument and serve no purpose. It is right, if the law makes people be less dickery and have higher class it helps the image of the community as a whole, I can't believe all the people defending this crap. Have you not learned your lesson on what happened to the fighting game community? If we've reached the point as a society where we need the law to stop people from hurting other people's feelings, I'd say something has gone awry. If we've reached the point as a society when people are allowed to be dicks as much as they want, I'd say something has gone awry. You can ban people from chat rooms. Yes, and you can sue them so they learn their lesson and stop being dicks rather than have them make new accounts and continue being dicks to you or to other people. People need to learn to have some class, hopefully this will make an example of those who lack it. The fact that you honestly think people should go to prison over meaningless words typed over something as impersonal as the internet baffles me. Should everyone that says "fuck you" to someone get arrested too? Just throw 90% of the world's population in prison if so, because they don't have "class."
"fuck you" is a bit different to sexism, racism, etc

Well, someone has to set a precedent. Good luck to her, bad luck to him for being the straw that broke the camel's back.

"Freedom of speech" doesn't allow you to constantly throw out mindless insults.
The guy is an idiot and hopefully he gets a cautionary fine or whatever and some others wise up.
