A proposed bill in Congress would make it a federal offense to use any form of electronic communication to “cause substantial emotional distress to a person” via “severe, repeated, and hostile behavior.” Which pretty much sums up everything I’ve written in this blog about Stephen Hawking and Michelle Bachmann. Maybe some of us bloggers can pool our money together to hire a lobbyist to kill this thing. Because there’s no way I’m doing time for making Stephen Hawking cry.
But just to be safe, I’m now accepting donations to the Mark Siegel Legal Defense Fund. Cash donations only, please. I’m not interested in your old office furniture or faded rock concert tees.
Very interesting bill, I must say. Wait, does this include spam mail?
