While CP does have a valid point, I do not believe that he/she posted it for the welfare of the Terri supporters. CP has appeared on several of the threads with the posts he/she is warning about and never once warned anyone about those posts on those threads.
I will agree that there have been threats against Michael Schiavo's well being and that many have accused him of criminal activity. Most of them were made due to an emotional case with anger driving them. Does that make them right? Well not the threats as we have no right to threaten someone's life. That is criminal. Can we make accusations? Not if we can't prove them. But, I am wondering, when did speculation become a crime?
So, while the warning may be necessary as Schiavo's team has garnered some "major league" support from those who the majority here openly declare as the enemy, I seriously, and I mean seriously, question the motive for CP posting this. He/she has made some pretty seemingly heartless posts in the Terri threads.
IF CP TRULY has the welfare of Free Republic, Jim Robinson, and the posters here at heart, he/she has certaily taken his/her time to make this warning. IF CP is an attorney I would seriously question his/her ethics. I liken this late warning to that of him/her knowing that a house is on fire and allowing someone to go into that house then telling them of the fire after they are already inside. OTOH, some may say better late than never.
I will most certainly take responsibility for anything and everything that I have said concerning this case.

I was referring to your grotesquely incorrect statement of "public domain" law. But whatever.

>>>Regardless, if anyone thinks that they can't be held liable for posting something at this website, they're wrong. It hasn't happened yet, and it probably won't happen in this case, but it could. It could also happen on any other thread involving any other topic.
I think it has started to happen. What can we do about it? If identities are being tracked/recorded/noted, anything we have posted up to this point is fair game. What are the suggestions?

What is his lawful excuse for doing so when he could divorce her or give up his guardianship and let her parents handle her affairs instead and she would continue living?
And please don't attempt to use the "he said she said she wouldn't want to live this way" because that just doesn't justify him wanting her dead and it certainly doesn't justify the quotes that her nurses swore he made about wanting to know when the bitch was going to die.

There are SO MANY millions of laws nowadays that no one can possibly be aware of them all, let alone obey them. That's what happens when you take God out of the picture - all human restraint goes with it. But whatever..

Take heed folks - hiding behind screennames will not defeat a Federal subpoena. Are you OneParticularHarbour or not? It is a fair question, as you are speaking about people hiding behind screen names. It is quite germaine to this discussion, considering the thread somebody posted about OPH doing legal work for FR network.
If you are OPH, and hiding it, and posting this, through the cover of a different persona, it highly affects the signifigance of your posting.
So, what gives? If you are just participating in threads, it's a different animal, but here, your identity is crucial. I don't think you can duck this one anymore.
Is Palpatine and OPH the same person? Yes or no?
To: Pan_Yans Wife
Not to mention, if the big Democratic forces in Florida stand behind them and offer them all the assistance they need, we could see FR, or at the very least, Freeper's silenced. And, if that happens, we may realize too late that Bennett and Rush were just the beginning.Why is this so hard for Freepers to compehend? You and others are trying to warn them and they keep insisting on their rights and that CP has an agenda! Makes me wonder what is their agenda?

Can't you read? It says right there on the home page that posters cannot make statements of fact!
Do I need a tag for this?

we should just do a Ghostbusters thread, instead of bumping this thing.

Long one of my favorites. Then there's the one that's the basis for my entire career:
If there's a steady paycheck in it I'll believe in anything.
Well my department has decided we need to improve moral and build team bonds... over fermented barley and hops, have fun guys.

"In my opinion...Michael Schiavo is a lying, murderous, money-grubbing, hypocritical, evil-through-and-through bag of festering pus. If he or his evil lawyer want to take me on, let 'em try. But fair warning...the only ones they usually try to take out are the weak and sick. I'm 6'3", 230 pounds, healthy, and I hit back. Hard"
...Dammit you beat me to it. For the record I say it too. Everything stated above comes from me as well.Except I am only 6'tall.
...What a pathetic attemt to stifle free expression. Its disgusting. If someone wants my address it's not that hard to get. Freep mail me and I'll give it to you along with my phone number and give you access to my account so you can check what I have said in this matter and I have said a lot, if you want to prosocute me. The day I fear some sniveling bastard who believes it's ok to kill a defenseless person will be the day I am dead.
