lol... no one would be able to press a law suit for ruined e-cred. Saying that someone's spouse is or isn't what one claims them to be is not a legal issue, unless names are named, and livelihood is threatened. Essentially, unless someone was to say 'Jane Seymour does not hold a valid license to practice medicine', it's a non-issue.

I find it funny that anyone would even think they could bring it to legal proceedings. Mind you, depending how it was worded, it could be one of the many thinly veiled threats I've seen made to forum administrations in the past.... 'do something about this person, or I could name you in a law suit and cost you a lot of money'. A way of forcing the forum's hand basically. But, of course, without seeing what was said, that's a hard call to make.

I think this is just the next step in his troll, he seems to be far too fabricated.

Oh for cry'n out Loud already! How about BOTH of you drop this
nonsense and quit dragging other people into it, or BOTH of you
step back and take a break from the Forum for a while, or BOTH
of you step into the STEEL CAGE and come out as friends once
you've aired yours grievances with each other...to EACH OTHER
and not anyone else??? Just Pick one, because this is getting

old very quickly.

Your Honor, my client wishes to plead criminal insanity at this point.

How can someone claiming your wife not be a doctor be actionable offense in court? Your wifes identity and yours is unknown to the forum, I can't see how a bruised e-credibility is grounds for a civil suit.

It's not. In Canada you have to prove damages in order to collect damages. Unless it can be shown that a quantifiable ($$$) amount of damage was done, there is no grounds for a suit.

He has ruined e-cred though, that has to be worth big bucks me would think. I had my CanCon nickname estimated at $400,000. :smile:

lol... it reminds me of my stay in the hospital last month. One of the women was constantly moaning and groaning and, for lack of a better description, performing and looking for pity. When I offered ear plugs to the tenants of the room, the third occupant accepted them, and we both wished eachother a wonderful night's sleep, while the complainer looked at us like we'd just ruined her favourite game.

Confining the fun to one thread, or keeping it between the two, just won't do it. Instead, the forum must be held hostage, histrionics must be carried out across all conversations, and the administration must be threatened into 'suitable' action, for people to feel their moans and groans have been adequately heard.

Ear plugs rock btw. :smile:

not only would this have to be said, but you would also have to prove a loss of income as a result. in other words, you could say that, but if the subject doesn't lose patients as a result, tough luck.

Very true, thank you for pointing that out.

This thread disproves the theory of evolution. That a group of supposed adults would act like a gang of school yard bullies and endlessly trash somebody they think is inferior to them only shows their own insecurities and does nothing to improve their own credibility. It is a sad commentary on where our society is headed - from the halls of higher education to the grade school sand box. I hope you are all proud.

It also proves some folk take themselves wa-aa-ay too seriously.

Oh give me a break. I see a whole two posts, three if you count me critiquing Cannuck's brand of apology, that attacked a person. The there were some that criticized actions and assertions. But the BULK of this thread is people making light of its supposed seriousness.

If you want to talk about higher education, expect to have actions like the supposed e-mail, and the OP, made fun of in the 'real world', no matter what level of school they take place in. In the sandbox they might actually get taken seriously. Here, not so much.

Wow, you need to take a step back if you feel this thread is somehow a commentary on where society is heading.

With that said, I will be calling you as my next witness in the case of "the bruised e-cred"
