It violates this clause of the TOS: the Content is not defamatory, does not contain threats or incite violence towards individuals or entities, and does not violate the privacy or publicity rights of any third party; on pretty much any page you care to name. Just because you think it's "right" or "justifiable" doesn't make it so. -- -- To post to this group, send email to gitorious@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to gitorious+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Gitorious" group.
