Daily Daft Posts From Justarse QuestIt seems RZ has said something on Twitter about possible civil law suits?
Whatever it is has given at least some of the JQ posters pause to think about the libellous stuff they post.
It’s mostly paranoia I think, but the discussion on this subject highlights a few interesting points.
Traybots are not so much worried about the HATE that they post… just worried about RZ (and others) seeing it. (Of course the creation of the secret Trayvon Zone Sewer came from that line of thinking)
I doubt they get it, but it shows that on some level the KNOW that what they post is hate and that it may well cause harm.
The solution offered by some alpha cretins is to simply put “IMO” or “JMO” in a post… then you can post anything you like, true or not, because “IMO” means it’s an “opinion” and you cant be held accountable for those!! (What do they smoke over there??)
Seems NONE of them have thought of the most obvious solution… POST THE TRUTH.
You can not be sued for libel if what you write is the truth… those worried should perhaps just stop posting lies and unsubstantiated supposition… that would work… move along… no law suit here, we only post the truth!

Would that be hard to do? I mean if they are using different nics?
ETA I worry about posting and ending up in a legal mess.

I'm not sure. If you are worried about legal issues, just make sure to put an IMO or JMO on your post. We are entitled to opinions and I don't think we can be sued for that.

OK, I'll do that. The internet really isn't anonymous. Peeps can be traced right to their front door. I think there are limits to freedom of speech.

Not to worry, they have bigger fish to fry (Sanford, St. of FL, NBC, and on ad nauseum). Post away - this alien would like to hear your theory of the murder.

What do you mean by this? I'm not a Zimmerman.
My question in red. I don't think it would be wise for me to keep posting with you. I'm back to just reading.

You asked how hard it would be for them to sign up & I said about as hard as it was for you - or anyone for that matter - to sign up. It wasn't personal.

Much unlike the tales baghdad bob loves to spew, opinions are not actionable.
Libel (or 'slander' as he likes to call it) is very difficult to prove.
Scammers try that tactic all the time but NEVER even file paperwork as the last thing they want is to be in a court room.
Same goes for baghdad bob with his endorsement of racists
