    Seriously. Sept. 1. Third degree felony if you use it with malicious intent.

    now the law would be if i am claiming to be a person, and makes remarks/threats/insults etc etc to another person, i can be legally prosecuted for it...

    even though it seems harmless, it stems from some social site drama that ensued a while back.

    You are referring to that case where a mother impersonated a "boyfriend" of another girl to cause the girl some suffering, and the young girl ended up committing suicide, right?

    That whole thing pissed me off.

    So who baned a regular sock puppet and why? I thought that ''sock puppet'' was a another word for impersonator or something?

    I don't know what the link is supposed to be then as it does not work for me either.....I just took "internet" off the original link & figured I got what it was supposed to be....

    In a nutshell, they are making it a 3rd Degree Felony if you pretend to be someone else with malicious intent to hurt someone or even if your impersonation leads to a malicious outcome whether you meant it to or not.

    Its really simple, dont pretend to be someone you are not.

    I thought a sock puppet was a sock with buttons for eyes, yarn for hair, etc.. For the single guys on the forum, I figured they each had one of Marilyn Monroe or Janeane Garofalo they liked to play with.
