No, it wouldn't.
Because his remark would be directed against "CourthouseObserver," which (or who) is not a legally cognizable person.
And frankly nobody except eesh gives a shit if you're from the Lamb Center, or you're a USSC law clerk taking a convenient sick day.
The only thing that matters is that you wrote an excellent report, and I hope you'll write another.
Here, btw, is the correct reply to eesh in these and indeed in most circumstances: Go Fuck Yourself.
And if that motherfucker - I mean "eesh" - gives the slightest intimation of any threatening behavior or even GRATUITOUSLY OBNOXIOUS behavior aimed at you, ONLINE or OFFLINE, send an email to Phil Leiser, *and* to the judge as well.
The judge could have defaulted this prick, but instead she cut him a major break.
If he acts out like a dick, as is his wont and habitual practice, it will not go well for him.
She will, quite properly, be highly vexed by such ill behavior, and may indeed "hand him over to the guard responsible for punishing prisoners, until he has paid the whole debt."
I refer of course to the Parable of the Wicked Servant, which "eesh" exemplifies, and which he ignores at his own peril.
Jesus said,
The kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. When he began to settle accounts, they brought to him a servant who owed him ten thousand bags of gold.
Because the servant didn’t have enough to pay it back, the master ordered that he should be sold, along with his wife and children and everything he had, and that the proceeds should be used as payment.
But the servant fell down, kneeled before him, and said, ‘Please, be patient with me, and I’ll pay you back.’
The master had compassion on that servant, released him, and forgave the loan.
When that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred coins. He grabbed him around the throat and said, ‘Pay me back what you owe me.’
Then his fellow servant fell down and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I’ll pay you back.’ But he refused. Instead, he threw him into prison until he paid back his debt.
When his fellow servants saw what happened, they were deeply offended. They came and told their master all that happened.
His master called the first servant and said, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you appealed to me. Shouldn’t you also have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’
His master was furious and handed him over to the guard responsible for punishing prisoners, until he had paid the whole debt.
—Matthew 18:23-34
