Message:
Any word can be used for the purposes of libel and slander. The term cybersquatter is used for a person that registers trademarked names with the goal of reselling the name later at a higher value. So if I went out and registered microsoft.firm, I would obviously be a cybersquatter. If I registered golf.firm, I wouldn't be. If I was called a cybersquatter for registering golf.firm, then yes, MAYBE I would be able to claim that I was slandered. Before you make such ill-informed and uneducated comments about a term as a whole, maybe you should get your facts straight. Frankly, a post such as this serves no purpose in this forum. There are more important issues to be dealt with besides your random blabber.
