"Does that become before or after they accuse of being a Nazi? "

And can I get sued for calling him a Nazi?

I'm not sure what "know" is supposed to mean but it's a free country so believe what you want.

Ya think we're "published" yet? :)

I'm curious, Jim, if by moderating the boards you're an 'active publisher' (ie. a newspaper) as opposed to a 'passive publisher' (ie. an ISP), and thus more likely to be held responsible (for things that are libelous but for one reason or another are not removed)?

Well, if you would like to defend the secular humanist position insofar as it is compatible with freedom, I would be glad to take your position apart for your - piece by humanist piece.

Well, there are the death threats and threats to kidnap Terri.

And those threats have been promptly removed by the moderators when they are brough to the moderators' attention.

I know. But I think the rest of us should know if he's done such a thing.

The paranoid "shoot the messenger" theme is amusing.

All Felos and the rest of the Schiavo legal team has to do to gather information on posters on FR is read the Terri threads simply by lurking. Ditto for the Schindler's legal team--as well as the Florida legislature and Governor's office.

If this was a private forum, I might indulge your paranoia. Right now, you're just being silly.

I don't really pay attention to the Kobe threads that much. But, Schiavo now has the ACLU on his side, and he and Felos are on a roll. I truly wouldn't put it past them.

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.

This same attention to detail has brought you to your flawed conclusions in the Schiavo case.

Ouch.

"possible conflicts of interest in the case"

He's refused to state if he has a life insurance policy on her and he stands to acquire any money left from the lawsuits he supposedly filed on her beahlf and won.

There's nothing "possible" about it. He stands to benefit financially from her death in a number of ways. I'm betting he's already looking into book and movie of the week deals over his fight in the courts. No doubt he will be portrayed in the most noble of light.

He hasn't cited a single personal lawsuit for defamation based on an Internet posting, either. Nor has he answered to my posting of the dismissed case from a large corporation.

Now that you have called him a blowhard, it is up to him to prove he is not a blowhard in his eventual Internet lawsuit. I want to sell the t-shirts outside the courtroom as we go through THAT discovery.
