I always liked this one I found in the Illinois statutes - it basically criminalizes every person online:
Barratry. If a person wickedly and willfully excites and stirs up actions or quarrels between the people of this State with a view to promote strife and contention, he or she is guilty of the petty offense of common barratry[.]
