Thanks for posting this -- sure hope some Freepers can get it through their head that their freedom of speech doesn't mean you can slander someone else and not have consequences. Some people need to stop and think before they post ludicrous statements that I have seen recently!
Everyone should read and heed your thread -- Moderators should pull the posts of people who don't heed your warning and continue to post slanderous statements!
I'm not a lawyer, but it seems to me that the odds of winning any kind of defamation or slander suit related to comments made on a website like this are very slim. I'd be interested to see if there is any previous case history related to this.
The Florida legal system can kiss my @ss, too. I don't live in Florida, I don't post from there, and in fact I've never set foot in that state.
Federal subpoenas are meaningless in cases where people post from outside the United States, too.
