KingCast seeks IP address of Topix troll who falsely stated illicit drug use led to termination.

By Christopher King

Dear Topix administrators and counsel:

Please provide me the IP address and identity of the anonymous poster who affirmatively stated that I was fired by the Hyatt Greenwich for doing drugs in the bathroom. That assertion is 100% false. Here is the snippet that remains cached on the Internet:

King bash here - Topix... He was fired for snorting or smoking something at the Hyatt Regency; ...

That goes well beyond the acceptable limits of parody, opinion or the hypothetical, as I noted, it is set forth as an AFFIRMATIVE FACT and that runs foul of the principles of Defamation. Therefore you should forward the requested information per John Doe v. Cahill, 884 A.2d 451; 2005 Del. LEXIS 381; 33 Media L. Rep. 2441 (2005) because unlike most of the hate-bashing where people accuse me of not having descended testicles or whatever, this is much more than a matter of opinion: It is actionable.

Also Fuzzy Zoeller sued Wikipedia when someone falsely accused him of drug and alcohol problems one and two.
