VirtualSellers.com, a provider of e-commerce solutions, has
filed a lawsuit against posters on a financial message board
operated by the investor web site RagingBull.com and its parent
companies Alta Vista and CMGI.
VirtualSellers.com says it took action because posters using the
names “Scott L.” and ”VDOT 2 a Dime” and others made malicious and
untrue postings on RagingBull.com that consistently and
persistently allowed posters to violate the “terms of service”
agreement.
VirtualSellers.com alleges that violations of the “terms of
service” agreement were allowed to continue and included “egregious
personal attacks” at VirtualSellers.com's CEO and other employees.
VirtualSellers.com alleges that these violations had the effect of
eroding VirtualSellers.com's share price.
