I don't know what he said but I defend his right to say it too. I don't think I said a litigable thing about WSP. One guy IS threatening to sue me over remarks I made on SI but it is unrelated. Somehow I don't think he will. On the Well, the famous San Francisco pre-net dial in posting site the motto was "you own your own words". They allowed anything.. language included and only kicked off people after months and months of unbelievable abuse and hundreds of complaints. This was a nuisance factor and could be said to hafve nmothing to do with content. If the liability is handled correctly SI is in the clear. Prodigy made some bad mistakes by patrolling content. Once they had set themselves up as policeman they could not wriggle out of responibility for posts. By being laissez faire you can avoid that. So freedom of speech is the preferred path towards lessening liability. Threatening to sue and actually launching an expensive suit are two different things. BUT the group of posters on SI could afford to couter sue on 18th? amendment rights in the USA and personal harassment bases. A law suit would cos the company perhaps 150K. It ain't worth it. The SI people are lawyers and know that that is the case. But SLAPP silence suits are the common refuge of scamming companies. All they consists of is judge's orders to shut up.. all too common I am afraid.. You ahve to learn the language of libel I cross it of course. When I called Bob Middleton a scuzz monster I was safe. It is undefinable as a term. I would call the Antares people anti free speach scare mongering fuzzwhackers. Hideawee bully boy sharemeisters. Double dip pina colada sucking snitwonkers. Where's the money, fred? etc etc.. then segue to a story about Bernie Cornfeld. Nothing they can do about it. Intention to defame is trash. You have to defame an identifiable person with intentionally harmful things... EC<:-}
