It seems I have replaced Turq as the most reviled person here on FFL - ahh, the company I keep, Curtis, Turq and all the other gods!
I don't hate Marshy and Company, just disgusted by their behavior - so now tell me Feste, what sort of libel have I committed, eh? Tell me what I have said that is libelous, given the accepted definition of libel, which is "a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation; a written defamation" It is only libel if it is written and published, and if it is false. If true, it cannot be libel and if it is unclear whether or not it is true, but the author as clearly identified the statement as opinion then it is not libel. Much of what I have written here has been identified by me as my opinion and the rest, well, I invite the Movement to sue me anytime it likes. ________________________________ From: feste37 <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, October 4, 2014 11:08 AM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Rick: about your rule Booting off jedi for what appears merely to be expressing a view of Judaism seems absurd to me. It has often been said that the God of the Old Testament is, shall we say, a less than attractive character: jealous, vindictive, vengeful, cruel. That's not anti-Semitism. It's mere literary criticism. Yet on this board Little Mickey Jackson is allowed to spew forth his hate speech against MMY and the TMO every single day, full of crude insults and libelous accusations—and that's considered perfectly okay. There are some very curious double standards operating here. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <punditster@...> wrote : On 10/3/2014 11:36 AM, Duveyoung wrote: > >Hmmmm, Rick -- not sure but seems to me there's been plenty of anti-religion to go around -- not just against the Jews.

It looks like Rick considered Spock's message as "anti-Semetic", when in fact it was just Spock's opinion about the Jewish religion. It looks like Rick panicked and got really scared when Dan threatened to file a report to the ADL, so Rick deleted Spock's message and put a ban on him posting. > >Now we don't even know what jedi_spock posted because it's been deleted.
