Re: 4/29/02 - [AZNT/Marvin v. Shell] Chicago Tribune: Penny Suit Penny suit: WLS Radio announcer Jay Marvin has given everyone a reason to think twice before posting nasty words about someone else on public message boards. Marvin alleges defamation and libel in a suit filed Thursday against Janice Shell, an online penny-stock board gadfly who is loved and loathed for her snooping into myriad corporate endeavors. Two other regulars on the RagingBull.com and SiliconInvestor.com message boards known only by their user names also are named in the suit. Marvin and Shell, an art historian who lives in Bryn Mawr, Pa., got into an online shouting match after Marvin gave a friend $10,000 to wage another legal battle in which Shell has been subpoenaed to testify. The money helped pay for a private investigator, who tailed Shell for several months. Shell and the two anonymous users often fought back by posting insults and taunts. In court records, Marvin states that they crossed the line when they said he gave his friend money he had taken from the radio station. Hundreds of references to his mental stability and sexuality didn't help, either, court records suggest. "This knife cuts both ways, and Jay Marvin is absolutely crazy if he thinks I can't prove that," Shell said. More online: Read more about the trouble between Marvin and Shell.
