Newsflash: 1000+ anally retentive posts on a thread - still no cure for cancer...

[Catspaw]

I don't know that they bother, if its something like a personal screen name (at least I hope not ;>).

I'm not going to try it, thank you very much. I might find my supply of Quarterpounders cut off.

"But Jim, why engage in street activism in support of our troops when it's obvious the Constitution is being saved right here on this thread? "

What?? You mean I've wasted a whole Friday evening and didn't even save teh Constitution?

BTW Laz: It's Friday night, why aren't you out on a date?

The only important thing is, when's liberty call?

Well Jim, that is the whole point. Lawyers like Palpatine, and if he's a lawyer his posts on this site indicate he's a God awful one, lost the debate on Terri Schiavo.

So, like a good little lefty, when the facts abandoned him and when the law didn't go his way, he decided to make the implied threat of the courts wielding the defamation hammer.

I, for one, don't appreciate being threatened. Especially by punks who post on the internet under assumed identitities.

Liberty is a dream that can never be grabbed while the judicial system and lawyers like Palpatine use it to advance in the courts what they have failed to convince the people of. Simple as that.

Chelski is a cancer. Sadly it hasn't been eliminated yet.

Liberty... Navy lingo... time off the ship.

About drawing inferences from silence->

Not to be too cute, but perhaps there are one or two FReepers who are also poor AOL users on crappy dialup connections? That's one inference I can draw...er...ping.

sidenote-FR can withstand all this. Even if FR goes down in flames, the individuals here aren't going to loose a grain of conviction, are we? Plenty of silent strong types here, don't forget.

Stand on faith and principle. Stand on the Rock.

You two clearly have not been paying attention around here for the last five years, so butt out.

Didn't you say about the same thing to the owner of this forum? Talk about being an ungracious guest.

[tutstar]

Yes and the recent attempt by CBS to smear homeschoolers....

sounds like this thread is aimed at all the Freepers trying to find what's going on behind the scenes with Felos,M Schiavo and Greer......

[Thumper1960]

What was the picture?

A guy behind a sheep.....apparently pushing it into a trunk, tho the angle was somewhat perversely suggestive.

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.

Welcome to the digital age of global communications.

You'll be singing the Blues too when Chelsea win the League.

Im going to SUE MYSELF, for being too SEXY!

I heard Frodo is going to sue the producer of Lord of The Rings for making him look marginally more faggy than normal.

Sammy says he's suing too, because the costume "made his butt look big"

Thank you for your reply Mr. Robinson.

Bob, you should stop trying to be clever. It never works well for you in the long run. If any of the bozos mentioned on this thread are in any way connected with FRN then you need to rewrite your plan.

[honeygrl]

Woah, a whole new ball in the game here.. *perk*

Multiply the dismal odds of success by the limited assets of the people who would be sued, and you've got a case no lawyer would touch. Unless, that is, somebody were paying him to go ahead with the suit for other, nonmonetary reasons.

[Thumper1960]

The IRS has first dibs on the sweat on my rump.

[jwalsh07]

I know.

[Neets]

Wow...you are rather outspoken ain't ya???

Are you a member of or affiliated in anyway with FRN??

If not i'd have to say how BOB writes his plan is NOYB.
