Sandra Tanner and Utah Lighthouse Ministries lose lawsuit against FairLDS

Posted on 07/03/2008 7:42:55 PM PDT by Grig

A three-judge panel of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of FairLDS, Scott Gordon, and Allen Wyatt and against Sandra Tanner and Utah Lighthouse Ministry.

This lawsuit was an effort to limit free speech by making an online parody websites legally actionable. The case was previously thrown out in summery judgment by the Tenth Circuit Court for the District of Utah, but Mrs. Tanner appealed.

Post four examples of 'Tanner lies' and perhaps we will entertain your accusation against them.

No we won't!

This comment as well as most of your comments annoy me. I am now formally requesting that you cease posting to me in any manner that would tend to annoy me.

Seems a little hypocritical in light of what you just posted to me:

It's not flip-floping: it's evolution of a veiwpoint.

In all fairness; you did NOT supply the many links where ELSIE was crying and complaining about it all.

My request is not tantamount to a lawsuit demanding your silence and you should have the intelligence to know that.

Move along...

Nothing to see here.

SOMEone in these threads posted the FEDERAL LAW about COMPUTER HARRASSMENT but have said they were merely being informative about it.

Wow!

Who knew that this was going to appear in the thread so soon!

Right now I don’t have the time to go to a hate site and pick out the lies. Later.

I love the way you guys all get together and scream so loud that I can’t seem (by myself, of course) to shout you down as you accuse me of doing. Hmmmm. . .

Sounds like you folks are talking about yourselves and not me.

Your twisting of facts is typical of you and is, of course, on par with Rosie o’donnell. An attempt at lame humor.

Okay...let's take this slow.

What facts have I twisted?

Please point these "twisted facts" out.

I see much humor.....but I will defer to you. What exactly do you think is my attempt at humor?

Spin, spin, spin ... where’s your proof of them lying on four occasions. We’ll wait, give it an honest try.

Ah yes....it's always the victim.

Who was screaming? And why would you think you need to shout?

BTW, did you post the following message to someone?

"DON'T POST TO ME AGAIN!!!"?

You did didn't ya? Would you like the date and time?

Do you deny this also?

I did answer it. It appears tha you and others are too stupid to understand the difference between me asking you not to post to me and Sandra Tanner suing someone in Federal Court demanding that they remove a satirical site and telling lies about the reasons they want it removed.
