I dare anyone to refute the fact that I have gone over Niagara Falls 14x and lived, it is a fact because I say it is, disagree and will bring down the law on ya'll.
That's your excuse....I dare anyone to refute the fact that I have gone over Niagara Falls 14x and lived, it is a fact because I say it is, disagree and will bring down the law on ya'll.
DS, did you notice the play in the steering wheel? I told you, that shuttle doesn't feel right. I reported the problem when I flew it to Saturn.Kreskin: Does that mean that if I tell everybody on the forum that I'm an astronaut and I flown the space shuttle and if somebody calls me a liar on this I can sue for damages if it happens to be the truth?:lol:
And also if I tried to put the screws to the moderating team by insinuating a threat of a lawsuit on the forum to force them into submission and have my way like an overgrown child?
This to me would mean real Bulsh*t and I wouldn't blame Andem for banning me!!!

You must have flown the old hydraulic system...now it's "fly by wire" and they replaced the wheel with a stickDS, did you notice the play in the steering wheel? I told you, that shuttle doesn't feel right. I reported the problem when I flew it to Saturn.

But when somebody makes a factual statement, prima facia it is actionable. The person who stated the facts could be asked to prove them in a court of law. However, action can be launched does not mean that it will be launched. There are several grounds for a suit. One is loss of income, of course. Or you could show that you are likely to lose income in the future because of the untruths. Or it could even be simply defamation of character (a person falsely claiming that another person is not a doctor would come into this category).
where did cannuck go?.....
I went golfing. I sucked btw....shot 6 over my handicap.
Have I just defamed myself??8O
lies, never happened. :smile:
an insulting statement that does not actually harm someone's reputation is prima facie not libelous."
Quite right Durka, that is why all kinds of name calling goes on and nobody thinks anything of it. But a factual statement is in a different category. Where the clear intent is name calling, a factual statement perhaps may not matter all that much (e.g. your mother wears army boots, while a factual statement, is clearly meant as an insult and may not be actionable).
But factual statements such as somebody is not a doctor, somebody works at such and such a place, they are different thing altogether.
My point was that whatever anyone else says is totally irrelevant. You label yourself by your own words. And, quite frankly, the label you have thus affixed to yourself is not as kind as the one Cannuck branded you with.Extrafire, the important phrase here is ‘you never believed’. Whatever you believe is your personal opinion. It matters only to you. So you are free to believe anything you want, there is no problem. It is childish, it is puerile (if some poster gives some information about himself, I assume it to be true until it turns out to be false, I give him the benefit of doubt), but it isn’t actionable. I may think that you have two heads and four arms, so what?
It is totally different from saying that you know for a fact that my wife is not a doctor (or that I am not married). Opinions, beliefs etc. are no big deal. Factual statement are a different thing.
And if I was the owner or mod and you came calling with that kind of threat you would be permanently gone from here forthwith.Quite right, some judgments are won on the flimsiest of evidence; some others cannot be won even with tons of evidence. It depends upon various factors, the lawyers, the judges, the precedence, the jurisdiction etc.
But the point is, would you take the risk at the end of the day if you were a moderator or an owner? It isn’t worth it. Much better and safer to put an end to such activity.
Owner supports the form out of the goodness of his heart (at least I don’t see any other motive for it). Moderators are volunteers; they donate their time and their efforts. Why would the want this hanging over their heads?
