[VAR & VSEA]"Rude Warriors

2003 witnessed a few major steps in perhaps the state's most intriguing free speech battle ("InterNot Free Speech," March 27 [http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/03.27.03/free-speech-0313.html ]). The First Amendment warriors are Michelangelo Delfino and Mary Day, two filthy-mouthed ex-Varian employees sued by the Palo Alto-based company for posting more than 20,000 inflammatory messages on the web. Conversely, free-speech advocacy groups dislike the two because of their rude behavior.

Delfino and Day gleefully give the finger right back. The two might not have much support in their corner, but they do have a heat-seeking missile of an attorney willing to take the case all the way to the Supreme Court. The saga that begun five years ago doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon. And even though everyone's sick of reading about these two, the issues surrounding free-speech rights in Cyberia are too important to ignore."
