Appeal dismissed; court upheld insult conviction based on forum comments using derogatory term.

The appellate court dismissed appeals by the defendant and his lawyer against a first-instance judgment convicting him of insult. The defendant argued that the court erred in factually establishing he used the phrase 'sell shit' to refer to the private prosecutor, claiming he was merely commenting on other forum users. The court rejected this, noting the logical context of the forum discussion and the inherently derogatory nature of the Polish word 'gnój' (shit) when applied to a person, regardless of dictionary definitions suggesting it could mean a fool or child. Consequently, the court ruled the first-instance findings were correct and the conviction under Article 216 of the Criminal Code was justified.
