Karlsson should be the last person named in any such order, her lawyer argued.
The court ultimately agreed. There exists better information in the hands of other people — the man who operates the website on which Caryk believes the harassment occurred, internet service providers who have the subscriber information of people who made the posts she thinks were incorrectly attributed to her — and Caryk should look to them to find those she believes is responsible, the court ruled.

Regardless, Caryk has no right to ask for a declaration that she didn’t “post nasty things about another person,” the court ruled.

Oh, well, that seems fair. Karlsson accuses Caryk of some pretty disgusting levels of online harassment but when she fails to present any evidence to support her claim the judge tells Caryk that to clear her name she should go after the websites/ISPs etc herself and that she has no right to have the court clear her name.
I'm sure there may be a legal explanation for why this mess unfolded the way it did but this whole situation seems crazy from Caryk's position. No evidence, public reputation ruined, court refuses to clear her name.
