But the real reason behind this thread tonight is to control the debate by a person who has been "anti- freepers helping Terri" from the get go. Let's not pretend it is anything other than that. People who are risk adverse and manipulative will control the debate by any means necessary. Even making false accusations, like the atuhor of this thread has done. Show me who here can be held for slander or libel. Don't give me generalizations, give me proof.
These are empty threats. If Free Republic falls apart because of what has gone on in this case, then the entire internet will be closed down. I have faith that Jim can take the heat and the pressure brought to bear upon him by the liberals who may want to see him ruined. He doesn't impress me to be the type of person who runs from empty threats. I have faith in Jim that he knows what types of legal trouble he could get in for moderating a site that allows all kinds of people to weigh in on such emotional topics as life and politics.
As for me, I think your legal advice is mumbo jumbo. I will lob as many verbal hand grenades as I see fit when my family or my country are at stake. I do not call names , like some here, but that is because I am a lady. But do not think for a moment I will stop talikng about what is important to me because you don't like what I have to say.
I can't--I have no standing in this case. Schiavo might be able to do so, particularly some of the more over-the-top posters who've stated as fact that he is motivated by ______________ (fill in the blank with an odious motive).
