What would YOU do????

What would you do if some EVIL prankster posted a false report about your death on a public website?

I would like to hear some suggestions from you, please. This recently happened to a very dear friend of mine, a very famous and world-renowned personality. The article this evil person posted was fabricated, giving exclusive false details of my friend's supposed death, on a public forum, no less. Thank God my friend is NOT dead, but alive and kicking, but the way I heard about this from a reader of this forum was so shocking I nearly had a heart attack.

I'm so angry that I am thinking perhaps there's a way for his closest friends and family members to file a class-action suit against this famous publication and change some of the current laws dealing with public forums.

Please give me some of your ideas as to what can be done about a public forum that would allow such things to be posted. I would especially like to hear from lawyers who know the law regarding public forums.

Thanks ALL.

..in the first place Maggie doesn't know anyone who is "world-famous"...in any legal action a person has to show intent...and the person fabricating a supposed death can just say he overheard the comment...after all, this idiot nation thrives on unsubstantiates gossip...you gonna sue over gossip?
