"Mark Hickey" wrote in message
... Juan claims that Bob had gone bankrupt. And FWIW, wouldn't claiming (without factual basis) that someone had filed for bankruptcy be considered libel? I'm not a lawyer, nor did I sleep in a Holiday Inn last night, but I believe that you must prove you've been injured/damaged/whatever by the libel in order to collect. It may be possible to have one's ISP cut off service to TOS violations in such a case though. |

It would be an interesting twist - Juan's own attorney attempting to prove that he has no credibilty, thus no damages. |

I once said in a aviation mailing list that it was disreputable at best to sell plans for a plane that had never flown. The person the comment was directed at threatened me with a libel suit. My reply was F'off and die. Funny thing, I never heard from his layer and I still think this person is a scoundrel. You can speak your mind in public all you want and unless malice is proven, it's going to be hard to shut anyone up... Tony |

That's why I keep telling people this is great entertainment. Yank the chain, watch the monkeys dance. ![]() -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Here in the US, actual harm of some sort is an element of the torts. In the UK there are several differences among them the concept that a defamatory statement can be so hideous as to be inherently harmful enough to warrant legal action. -- FF |

Clearly, Jaun thinks its both clever and funny to post lies about
people in order to "Yank their Chain". The fact that those lies might be harmful to them in some way never enters his mind or if it does, he simply doesn't care. Look at some of the lies he has made up about Chuck for a clear example. He clearly knows they are lies but repeats them over and over again just to get a response from Chuck. That is SICK by any definition. Jaun is the little asshole kid that used to poke the stick through the fence to torment the neighbors dogs. One can only hope that some day he will torment a pit-bull who will come over the fence and tear his heart out (figuratively speaking for sure BG). wrote: Steve Foley wrote: "Mark Hickey" wrote in message ...
