The scenario that you have described isn't a realistic one.
What is irritable to one person, may not so for another. May be you have seen some cases of RTI being misused but, mind you, that is just your way seeing things, your perspective.
That which you called misuse may not be a misuse after all for some other guy who seriously wanted help (This doesn't refer to the scenario you described but to one which you may have seen for yourself.).
Most of what you say is correct.

blr_p said:That's the whole crux of your argument isn't it
In your eyes, misuse if RTI outbeats legitimate applications and then you extrapolate your personal experience for the whole of the country. So since you make this claim, can you point to any credible sources to strengthen your position ? -- that in total of all RTI applications filed, majority were to harrass & waste time. Then define what 'harass' and 'waste time' means. What exactly constitutes 'misuse' of RTI ?
If possible also can you show whether western countries with similar Freedom of Information legislation manage do it any differently. Show how they cut down on time waste.
Yes, you need to make your case robustly because what you want amounts to diluting rights accorded to the people. You would rather have right-to-ignore act
All of it is spec'd in the RTI Act, there should be provisions therein it to cater to this sort of abuse.
