Stockhouse Publishing Ltd. has won an interim injunction in the Supreme Court of British Columbia restraining Daryl MacAskill, also known as "stoxxman," from posting on its website. The injunction was handed down on Wednesday, April 18, by Justice Gregory Bowden, after Stockhouse argued that Mr. MacAskill was creating thousands of posts, many with "ugly and inflammatory language." The victory is a partial one, as the judge declined to permanently bar Mr. MacAskill from the site. The judge instead entered a restraining order that keeps Mr. MacAskill from using Stockhouse until the case can be scheduled for a full hearing.

The decision followed a one-hour argument by Stockhouse lawyer Ludmila Herbst, who contended that the content of many posts by Mr. MacAskill violated Stockhouse's terms of use. She presented 16 pages containing examples of his posts, which included: a photo that appeared to be an ad for penis enlargement; an image of a book cover titled "Best of Bondage Erotica," which referred to a user who "likes handcuffs"; a cartoon image of a donkey licking a naked man's buttocks; and a picture of a very obese woman wearing very little.
