hiding behind screennames will not defeat a Federal subpoena

I think Jim Robinson has stated in the past that even if under subpoena he would NEVER reveal identifying confidential information about individual FReepers.

And posting legal threats like this should be carefully considered by Jim Robinson as an open threat against Free republic itself and an attempt to stifle pro-life views contrary to your own sick views.

And if you are a lawyer, that should weigh even more against you in Jim Robinson's evaluation of these attempts to censor views with which you disagree.

But I feel certain you're taking names anyhow.

You working for the ACLU or Attny Felos himself?

Reality bites. I figure that if people are going to make vitriolic statements, they need to be aware of consequences. As for the material itself, take that up with the Florida bar - they wrote the first piece.

Your statement is ludicrous in itself -- you cannot hide behind a screen name for long. From what I read of your comments you expect Jim to have to go to jail for refusing to divulge names so that some Freepers can continue to make libelous statements? If that what you are saying?

please ping those opposed to euthanasia so that they may see and respond to this blatant and sinister attempt to stifle activism and free speech on Terri's behalf, by an obvious supporter of euthanasia who openly despises Terri's defenders here.

That's right, insult the messenger and ignore the message.
You're a real beaut!

OBVIOUSLY, Chancellor Palpatine posted this to "protect" this forum (wherein he is one of the most valued and astute members) by warning all of us of the consequences of ad hominem and vicious slander.

If this isn't taken as an open threat against Jim Robinson and Free Republic itself, then I hope the management here plans to go through the database and remove all the defamatory posts about Arnold Schwarzenegger. Gee, maybe better even take a look at the Janet Reno posts around the time of Elian Gonzales!

This is one of the most noxious attempts at stifling free speech that I've seen coming from a FR member.

GOOD FOR YOU!!! Thanks from a grateful nation of FReepers!

Jimrob, please confirm or deny this statement.

>>>>I think Jim Robinson has stated in the past that even if under subpoena he would NEVER reveal identifying confidential information about individual FReepers.

Jim may not; but not all of us were/are transparent on this board. Nor did all of us think we would need to be.

I have strong reason to believe there are members or affiliates of the Michael Schiavo legal team on this forum.

One of them checked my profile, saw some of my links there and freep mailed me back my identity. Intimidation? Maybe. Warning? Maybe. Just being obnoxious? Maybe.

It is really too late now for me to suddenly become transparent since my identity is known. But, I don't think I've made any posts that are illegal.

“…views contrary to your own sick views.”
Sick?

[jetson]

If there is any question of freepers being attacked, Jim should wipe out all forum posts'.

Jim Robinson has a law degree I assume...
Can we make legal payments to him in liew of donations...
and put him on retainer?
