What is the name of your state? Ohio

I was posting on the internet as a "Troll" and was making racist comments.
Someone posted my IP address and full name on a post.
Other "Trolls" posted too and no one did that to them.
I asked the company to withdraw it, and they won't even answer me.
Also, I told them a lawyer said: "that I could take them to court"
I did not threaten to harm any one.
How can I get my name off the post?
What can the company do to me?

So you're a pig. O.K.

You poor baby.

So tell mommy
I asked the company to withdraw it, and they won't even answer me.
What would you expect? For them to tell you to kiss their (black, hispanic, jewish, asian or Indie) ass?
Also, I told them a lawyer said: "that I could take them to court"
Sure you could. You could "Take" them in a limo, a low-rider or on the back of your bicycle. But if you're talking about "Taking" them to court to sue them, you'd be laughed out of the courtroom.
I did not threaten to harm any one.
So, is that relevant?
How can I get my name off the post?
Use whiteout on your screen where the IP and name shows.
What can the company do to me?
They can call you a racist pig and post your IP and real name on the internet :D

I guess the question is now, did you learn anything from your experience? That is to say, you never know who may hear what you say, read what you write, or see what you do, so maybe it's just better to mind your manners ALL of the time. If you had done that, you wouldn't be in this predicament. A little thinking ahead never hurts.

My response:

But first, doesn't a person have to care about what they write, or who may read it?

Take me for example . . .

IAAL you are in a class by yourself. In answer to your question -- of course someone has to care before they change. You will always be you and never change. Part of your - ummm - charm it is.
