OK, now we're getting somewhere. You've just argued that everyone has the free right to publicly call someone else a criminal... but that the aggrieved party may sue for slander. Let me put your example in more general terms for you: "no one has commited a crime in the eyes of the law unless they have been given due process under the law, i.e. they have been tried and convicted." Yes, that's an absolute true statement, I'll grant you that. But what you have effectively done is told all of us that we shouldn't even be talking about this matter because everything is just "alleged" at the present time. Well, gee, pardon us for speculating on the details. Pardon us for discussing the implications (about which someone characterized as having a potential "chilling affect" on internet message boards). Then, please, let me ask you this: if Westergaard's bounty is not (yet) a slanderous act, is it, at least, a somewhat despicable one in your mind? Or would you like to see more of the same as regards people that post on SI and other message boards-- by Westergaard and Westergaard wannabes? - Jeff
