Keyword: In Private...that's no libellous
You privately send me loads of threatening abuse over the Thorn matter and pretend to everyone else that you are a mellow fellow
Keyword: In Private...that's no libellous
Everyone is allowed there own opinion so let them say what they feel and don't be so corrupt
Just a gentle reminder, could you think before you post personal insults, accusations and everything else against other members, organisations and individuals.
People DO read these forums so can see what you put and it possibly could come back to haunt you with legal action so just to save any hassle could you think before you post or if you see something a bit borderline could you report it so we can deal with it?
Thanks
If its private and not published then its not libel. If its a private message made public, it would be whoever made it public liable not the author.I think that you'll find that if it's in writing (or print as in e-mail), and it's not factually correct, even in a private message that is made public, and insult is caused or taken, in law that's libel.

Nick told me in private if I continue to support Andy Thorn he will ban me from the site, burn down my garden shed and steal my Easter Eggs.
That goes for all of you, sleep with your eyes open!!!

They can say their opinion, not accusations and personal remarks without being able to prove them
Nick, you removed my post saying "was it ok if i called Tim Fisher a homos*****", i was actually implying he was a homosapien

Seems like a lot of what people say comes under "fair comment"
And seriously-has anyone aver been successfully sued for libel based on what they've said on an internet forum? Really?
Not so - It's still the writer that's libellous. The person that revealed the libellous material will probably get called something else!!
Thanks for all the work you do do on here-much appreciatedAnother reminder not to get too carried away when posting, I'll be trying to find somebody to help out with moderating to try and keep on top of things and get a bit of structure / order in the court!
Another reminder that if police or lawyers come knocking then I may be forced to give out personal info, so think before posting...
Stupid fucking phone made me post on wrong thread.. doh
yes you can say scunthorpe but dont mention the c**tCan I say scunthorpe
Be careful about what you think comes under fair comment as the Sunday Times and Julie Burchill found out in comments it made about the actor Steven Berkof.

I know this is like 5 months late, but I never go in this thread.
I refuse to accept that a poster on a message board and the Sunday Times are equivalent. And if the law sees them as such then the law is an ass. From what I've seen, most sensible judges agree.
I think I am right if you know something is correct and is fact you will not face libel on here

You need to be able to prove you are right
You may have to go to court to prove you are right and / or the other side prove you are wrong but generally if you're telling the truth there's not a lot anyone can do other than try and bully you into a retraction (see SISU and the Guardian).
