Re: Judge Bars Man From Chat Group May Be First Time Someone Is Legally Banned From Site Nov. 19, 1999 By David Noack SEATTLE (APBnews.com) -- A Seattle man, believed to be the first person ever legally barred from participating in an online chat group, may appeal a judge's restraining order banning him from the online discussion devoted to skiing enthusiasts. The case, which began with a dispute over free ski passes and spilled over to cyberspace, includes a wild series of charges and countercharges between two camps in the Internet usenet newsgroup rec.skiing.alpine. It came to a head when a judge issued an order of protection preventing 47-year-old Scott Abraham from joining in the newsgroup after another member, David Hobbs, accused Abraham of a campaign of harassment. Both men are Seattle residents. 'I want him to leave me alone' etc. apbnews.com - Jeff
