Now you're being accused of intimidation by letting people know that they can get into legal trouble if they screw up.
So far, the only conclusion I can draw from this thread is that some people here think that libel law could never apply to them because they firmly believe whatever they say here.
The only reason this thread has generated this much controversy is because you're perceived to be on the "pro-death" side of the Schiavo story, and they don't want to hear legal cautions from you. However, had this same post been made from an attorney who had been outspoken on the other side of that issue, I suspect the thread would have been much less controversial.
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?
Because there's no end to fear. This is a forum of strong opinions. Stromg opinions are needed to form and police good laws. Milquetoast opinions result in tyrannny.
Be a free adult and be NOT afraid to give your strong opinion in this forum. Better men and women than us all gave their fortune, blood and lives for us to be able to do exactly that.
