w, but WTF is deformation of character!!


Should check my spelling defamation of character
Defamation—also called calumny, vilification, traducement, slander (for transitory statements), and libel (for written, broadcast, or otherwise published words)—is the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government, or nation a negative image. It is usually a requirement that this claim be false and that the publication is communicated to someone other than the person defamed (the claimant).[1]

ps i really hope there is some wind tomorrow

Agreed my witty friend. However Laurie can always improve on what is a great forum. Although the person starting all this, his approach, was flawed and emotional , I think he still had a valid point. Why not disuss the angles rather than say Laurie is the law!
Man we all need some farqin wind!





Hmmmmm

So I generate a random email account

Sign up to a forum, with no details bar a super cool username

Access the site through a proxy server

And you think you're gonna find someone who could be bothered to try and find me to sue me cause I said you like to go down on your own mum on the internets....?

Defamation is hard enough to prove in the really real world..

never mind on nerdweb

End of the day, this is lauries' show, don't like it don't tune in

(do I get me free tshirt now loz..?)

Yep, it's that time of the year again. All moderators on deck until we get some wind!

IanR said...

Come on Galah. Man up show your accountability and let us all know your true identity


If you have already joined the dots you must know who I am!

I thought that stopped being an issue long before I became a moderator here. Please play the ball not the "man".

Either way if I defame you, or have defamed you in the past, please feel free to get a court order and Laurie will be legally bound to tell you everything he knows about me and my identity.

PS: You make a pretty big assumption when you say I should "man up"

To quote The Castle, "it's all about the vibe".

Play the ball, not the man. Lifes too short for getting upset over internet forums.

Come to here to enjoy others company, share experiences and improve your kiting.

Use Seabreeze.com.au for pain relief. If pain persists, move to WA for more wind*

Too easy.

excuse my ignorance, but is 'fora' the collective noun for forums?

Answered my own question, thanks wikipedia:

Noun
'fora'

1.Plural form of forum.
Usage notes - the English plural forums is preferred to the Latin plural fora in normal English usage.

Ref: Modern English Usage, 2nd Edition, ed. Sir Ernest Gowers, Oxford 1968 (article '-um', p.658).





I thought it was a fungal infection.

Really in all honesty I don't care who you are and even if I was 100% certain I would not expose your Identity. That is up to you

In the early days when you where just another anonymous troll it was just a game some of us used to play to try and out you. Never really taken seriously except for maybe you

When you became a moderator that is when It became issue as i feel that with authority comes accountability. That is when I email Laurie and expressed my concerns. He reply and I excepted his answer.

I really have no idea where the above comment comes from. I have never said you have Slandered or defamed me either publicly or privately. The only things I can think of is you have a guilty consonance about something. Or you feel that I have Defamed you if this is the case please feel free to initiate legal procedure. But be Aware I have very expensive Lawyers and I really don't think you can Slander an anonymous person because they have no good character to protect and I can just say I though it was someone else

The only assumption I made was that you are male. I really think you should elaborate more on this because I really don't understand what you mean.

As Laurie says Its about the Vibe.
And I fined the vibe here can be Quite Toxic sometime hence I've only made 222 Post since July 2005 Less than one week.
I make my input into kiteboarding on the beach.
Stay well Galah and don't take it so Seriously it's only the internet

Better read our constitution!!! You may have the US one confused with ours.

Our constitution does not guarantee freedom of speech.

We have to rely on the UN declaration of Human Rights for that and we all know the UN is a toothless tiger.

As a privately owned website, the owners have every right to delete any comments that may cause offence, are malicious or slanderous.

We ain't the US of A!

I did not mean to imply that you had done anything wrong.

I was referring to the link I posted about recent news about anonymous interwebians being unmasked when they defamed others:

I have never known another forum where things get soooo far off the original (albeit extremely vague in this case) point.

It's fascinating to watch unfold. I truly love it!!

Obviously some wind starved interwebs users out there today.
