Default They cleaned up Dodge City so to speak at Findlaw.

I don't get why people do this, but it's annoying and rather nasty IMHO.

This is from the FindLaw Answers Community Guidelines:

"Do not impersonate any person or entity, use an identity similar to another identity used in the FindLaw community such that it may be misleading to other users or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity."


Findlaw when I posted on its message boards heavily from April 2002 through about July 2006 was like Tombstone before Wyatt Earp and his brothers showed up. It was a free-for-all. Quite entertaining to read but you often did not want to get into the melee unless you wanted to get bloody.

This kind of free-for-all also probably really attracts trolls and other kinds of internet vermin.

I have not seen any of this impersonating other posters on TOTV.
