[quote=“artfoley, post: 883845, member: 179”]normally yeah, but i would be surprised if someone hadnt gone over the line and defamed them thus givng the leverage to be never spoken of.
of course, this could not limit people on other websites giving their full and frank opinion on their styles on those websites[/quote]
art, question
from a legal standpoint what is the process if a 'soliciters letter" is sent to the admin of the website?
who is being sued?, is it the admin of the website or the ANONYMOUS poster?
is it possible for say @caoimhaoin[/USER] to sue @[USER=180]myboyblue[/USER] for a comment he makes on here?. ie accuses him of being gay or something or robbing a car? or does @[USER=180]myboyblue have to name a “real” person ?
if i say fire wanton abuse at @BeTimberin , am i insulting the poster, a person or the username? does the username have rights and feeling? is it possbile to call an IP address a name?

You seriously don’t understand this?
after you threatened to have me killed, raped, outed , my family tormented , etc a few years ago in that sea of rage, would i have had a case if i told the cops i was being harassed by some internet username ?

Its not cut and dried by any stretch. The closest to clarity so far in the courts was the rate my solicitor.com case. A court order can be obtained to release the details of an IP but you may have to go after mirror orders in the states or wherever the site is hosted. Going after the poster or the site depends on what action the admin took after the material was pointed out to them and their policies generally.
As regards defaming an internet username, you cant do it unless the person is clearly identifiable. E.g. i dont know mbb from adam so hes clearly a kiddy fiddler, whereas my posts about @Mac could possibly be considered as defamatory as he is identifiable to me and others. But then again, the truth is a defence.

thanks @artfoley
@caoimhaoin will have no case to answer so
Tell them after I break your nose. Otherwise sticks and stones.
Why are you so unbelievably unable to take stick/abuse/banter/whateverthefuck yet you can give it no bother. You are probably the worst on the site along with Rudi and bandage. I heard you were a weak person, but your online persona is even worse.

:D:pint:
Here ye cunts, stop tagging me in this thread :mad:
Out of respect for Rocko I will not air my thoughts on Michelle smith on here save to say she demonstrates the admirable neck of a genetic politician.
Get @count of monte cristo[/USER] to send a strongly worded letter to @[USER=9]Bandage
Useful to know that it is not impossible to challenge the moderators of this site…
I don’t know about that. Peter G got nothing from them… A nice chap, you’d like him.
Ms Smut De Brutal, Mr Teaboy and Mr Saul Colenzo did though
Thats one perspective, the other being that @Rocko is protective of his users and accedes to the requests to stop the dumbass keyboard warriors from being sued
@Rocko[/USER] is like an Irish mammy, we continually let him down, but by God he loves us all equally, even the idiot child you ship out to the priesthood, ie @[USER=1517]carryharry
