"...perhaps you should refrain from joining in the debate."

Ah, one tiny issue, it's Jim's site, he can post on any thread he choses.

[IncPen]

I think the copyright on Winnie the Pooh has expired. However,...

Actually Disney and AA Milne's family are duking this out in court (ownership of the mark).

Winnie's name is safe thanks to the "Bono Copyright Extension" in 1998...

[Neets]

And if you can't accept the answers/non-answers given, you know how that goes...don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord Split ya.

[honeygrl]

Oh c'mon.. I can do MUCH better than that for "too much info"!

[LPM1888]

I don't sue people, I just dismantile them with logic.

Let me know if you ever do that.

Something tells me you're going to have a very very long wait.

[Thumper1960]

Is that guy saying:

"C'mere, ewe"???

[Lazamataz]

What is your question?

I'll take Baseless AntiFreeper Speculations for 500, Alex.

[Who is John Galt?]

I think the copyright on Winnie the Pooh has expired.

I stand corrected - it was a poor hypothetical. I am always willing to admit a mistake...

;>)

[aristeides]

From silence, one is entitled to draw inferences.

[Indy Pendance]

What concerns me the most is all this stupid infighting. Why? What does it do to affect what we are trying to acheive here? My goal is either to make the liberals irrevalant, or to become dictator so I can personally eliminate them. I think option two probably will never happen, so I'm stuck with option one.

[Neets]

I resent the recent implications too.

[aristeides]

On Winnie the Pooh, I appear to have been wrong. See #962.

However, my "..." still stands.

[honeygrl]

My eyes!!! My eyes!!!! *covering face with hands*

[Poohbah]

Something tells me you're going to have a very very long wait.

I'm not going to hold my breath.

[wimpycat]

Why? It's an internet web site. What does it matter in the big picture?

Exactly. This is an internet website, and none of this matters. The only way I could think anything anybody said on FR would matter legally would be if a group of people were using FR to plan a crime. For instance, if somebody said, "Hey, I'm going over and I'm gonna shoot so-and-so", and another person said, "I know where he lives and I'll FReepmail you his address," and then later that night so-and-so was shot, well, then I think that would have some relevance.

[Catspaw]

Why am I interested in this? Simple. It is alleged that chancellor palpatine, aka one_particular_harbour, conspired with one JoeEveryman, aka Panjandrum in spreading false and malicious gossip at LP in concert with habs4ever.

Huh? And what would people do at another internet site concern me in the least? Why don't you take it back to LP and argue it out there? I'm sure you know the way.

[Area51]

What is your question?

This is a bit like that show Jeopardy, right?

Show me the libel. Since when does I need to have a law degree to speak my mind in public.

This is the process of our Republic. People get upset about something, produce evidence to others to convince them to help, find other ways to get power from numbers and then all together put pressure on the people in power, esp. on our elected representaives, to change laws to fit our agenda.

This is not a bad thing. The left ahs been using this method for many many years now. Believe me , most of the time they could not prove most of the things they were upset by. It is by the people, for the peopel. How is it you find yourself so scared by that?

Why are you acting as though this hasn't been done a thousand times in our country's history?

We read the information, used our common sense and then all talked about what we could do to make the changes we wanted to see.

If you , or the Florida Bar association , or Micahel Schindler or the wierdo attorney ,is going to take on Freepers and Freerepublic for Libel and Slander because of what has happened in this case.. We'll I guess there are about 10 million suits to bring upon all people who use the internet for chat on any topic.

This is America after all, everyone has an opinion about everything ,and a million ways in which they formed their opnions, we don't have to rationalize that to you or anyone else.

There are many activists lurking out here in cyber space on thousands of different topics. Who is going to police cyber space.. you?

IMO, your post borders on a terroristic threat. ( Yes, I am allowed to say that.) I stand by everyhting I have said and posted here, and I won't stop fighting for what I believe in no matter how much you want me to, and no matter how much you try and scare me with the bogey man.

[Neets]

Because he knows the cut and paste artists will handle that for him.
