Short answer, based on discussions I've had with an experienced
libel/freedom of speech lawyer I've often consulted in my own work: A
provider (Prodigy, AOL, and so on) may choose to sanction the offending
individual in some manner. There do not appear to have been any
libel/slander/defamation cases per se brought as a result of flaming.
Yet.
