It doesn't work for me in IE7 (I'm at work) for anything but CodeProject articles.

Nope. I reported similar strangeness[^] yesterday, using FF3.0

It works for Codeproject articles, but not for anything else (including Tips/tricks).

And serious libel at that.
I will require all and any information you can give me about this 'Member' as I am considering legal action for the libellous accusation.

You can file a case in a Canadian court and then the court will request Code project to provide the IP address of the poster. The court will then issue a request to the US ISP the poster uses (which they will obtain from his IP address) and then get his account information, so they can identity who he is. And then you can take it from there.
Or you can ignore the words of someone who's long been associated with complete lunacy.
Take your pick

It's not like we have anything else to do, anyway. Getting tangled up in an online fight? Sure - we'd love to! And then after this one's cleaned up we'll then move on to the next one - assuming that, with only 7 million members, we can find an example of someone insulting someone else.
Maybe I should start checking messages directed at CSS and see if anyone's been saying bad things to him?

Yes they have. A couple of dozen otherwise nice CPians have been hazing CSS for at least an year now. And this is despite knowing that he's mentally unstable! For all you know, the court might turn the tables and say that these people are responsible for harassing a lesser-minded individual online

To so you're aware: labelling someone as mentally unstable can be considered libel.
SOOoooooooooo.....
How about we all just move along, eh?
Name calling on the interwebs! Who'da thunk!

Wow - I didn't think of that. I suppose now that you are doing more of a corporate/management role than a technical one, you are additionally sensitive and alert to possible legal problems.

It's OK. Sean held me back and gave me a talking to. I've been doing deep, calm breathing.
And maybe some code...

Or you just google for his real name, which everybody and their dog knows, and you will find his address, telephone number and a streetview-picture of his mom's house within less then ten seconds.

Ten seconds? Come on... At least a minute or so.

Let it go. The retard isn't worth the effort or time.

That's what you'd think. But it's astonishing how there are so many people who spend so much effort and time in engaging him in conversation

I didn't.
It was a thread in the lounge and he came out of left field.

If that's the case, I think we need more stringent controls on access from left field. Maybe a black hole...

I didn't mean you. But the Back Room forum is primarily used as a place where a bunch of CPians engage him in absolutely ridiculous debates.
