"Stockhouse has indicated that it will turn over identifying information for the users upon Mr. Gill securing a court order and paying a $150 retrieval fee."
Another revenue stream for Stockhouse? Gotta love the entrepreneurial spirit (in God we trust; all others prepay?).

What a waste of time and resources. "The best revenge is success"

Mr. Gill says they falsely accused him of being a "jerk" - this should be a riving court case! How does one prove one is not a jerk?
I must say, companies that spend their time dealing with the morons on the chatlines, are not, IMO, focusing in the proper direction.

"How does one prove one is not a jerk?"
Likely exactly the same way that buybuybuy1 did seemingly prove that one was a jerk; by posting on the Stockhouse forum under your own name that you're not a jerk.
"dealing with the morons on the chatlines". Yes, indeed. Wonder how much time Ian Telfer spends trolling the chatlines, looking for "material which is unquestionably defamatory and actionable"? Probably not much (and he'd hardly designate such a serious task to a minion), as he's got a whole herd of elephant-sized companies to make even bigger, better and more profitable).
How the Howe Street action has gone upmarket but sadly downhill! In the glory days of the VSE (ya hear me up there, Murray?), this would have been settled in the parking lot of the Hotel Vancouver (keying the defamer's high-end-but-oh-so-visible wheels).

May be now onwards...stockhouse should screen all messages before they put it onlline...
Why would anybody look into this kind of messages......and take legal action..
People are not serious those who post on this kind of social netwrok.....
and nobody make any investement decision based on this kind of comments
Hey Mr Gill, you've got a five cent stock you're running here, obviously management are incompetent. You have no basis for an action. On the contrary, the shareholders should be suing you for such a performance. Do the right thing. Resign.

This is ridiculous. I, for one, can never imagine the day somebody like Lukas Lundin or Robert Friedland is bothered by what people write on the Internet forums about them. They're busy creating shareholder value, instead of embarassing themselves being a cry-baby about hurt feelings and acting like a jerk looking to slam a bill on people that quite likely has lost money already on a company they're understandably venting their frustrations about. I will never ever invest in management that has the time to sit and sue Internet-posters when they should be running a company.
