Oregan-based Cell Tech suing Mark R. Thorson for Defamation 

An Oregan manufacturer of Super Blue Green Algae from Klamath Lake is 
suing a misinformed impetuous psychotic it claims has been on an 
anonymous Internet rampage. Cell Tech says Mark Robert Thorson (DOB: 
August 1958) has been harassing Cell Tech employees via e-mail, 
calling the company's customers and partners alleging unethical 
business practices, and posting trade secrets on the Internet. 
Defendant Thorson has an alarming history of engaging in 
such "anonymous" Internet attacks against those who he believes may 
have slighted him (including past acquaintances and employers), and, 
absent a TRO, will continue his historical pattern of making 
outrageous and harmful attacks against the material business interests 
of Cell Tech, reads Cell Tech's court complaint, filed earlier this 
month in Klamath County Circuit Court (13th Judicial District). Cell 
Tech, which obtained a temporary restraining order against Thorson on 
March 15th, is suing him for defamation and tortious interference with 
contractual relations. The company is seeking $1 million. Mark R. 
Thorson could not be located for comment; his phone number is unlisted 
and a reverse search of his Saratoga, CA address (12991 Pierce Road, 
95070) produced no results. Thorson allegedly e-mailed the company's 
general mailbox anonymously, promising to fight back against the 
company and drive it out of business. Cell Tech also claims he called 
their customers and made untrue allegations. Thorson also used an 
Internet newsgroup (misc.health.alternative) to criticize the Cell 
Tech product. Cell Tech also claims that Thorson has a distrubing 
history and pattern of using pseudonyms to criticize whoever has 
offended [him] on a particular day. Indeed, a search of Google's 
newsgroups shows lots of chatter about Mark Robert Thorson, including 
several posts purporting to unmask him as the anonymous source of 
negative comments about numerous companies and professionals.
