So are you saying that if I spread a rumor on the internet that you are a gay, homosexual, pedophile serial killer just before you apply for a job you should just grin and put up with it?
Are you saying that your good name and reputation can be destroyed by just anybody and you have no recourse because it was on the internet?
I think civility ended when they substituted lawyers for duels, but I’ll be damned if I will let somebody say something vicious and untrue about me or mine, regardless if it is to my face, on paper print or just electrons.
If you believe other wise you are no better than a hacker who steals a persons identity.
