McCarthy won his case in small-claims court in February but lost to McCahan's appeal yesterday. McCarthy, a Web consultant and freelance journalist, argued that the posting was a personal attack that could damage his reputation because it was archived on the Net. But in court earlier this month, McCahan's attorney countered that "flame wars" were customary on the Net, where people regularly exchange insults during heated discussions. The San Francisco Superior Court, which doesn't write detailed opinions in such cases, ruled in favor of McCahan and ordered McCarthy to pay her $221 in attorney's fees and other legal costs. >>
