Ah, sorry, I got the holiday impression from a PM.
If you read that threat from Antares #reply-5420262 you find that it's quite broad;
"...to stop making the types of statements he made in Reply Numbers 3851, 3872, 3873, 3880, 8331, 3883, 3891, 3894, 3901, 3927, 3963 and 3965..."
Well, john says a lot of things in those posts - they can't all be untrue.
Remember - Truth is a defense against libel. That is one big reason why most threats of libel suits don't make it to court - the threatener doesn't really want the truth to come out, they just want to silence the critic with the threat. A lot of ugly stuff can come out in Examination for Discovery.
Perhaps Antares could post again and fill us in on specifically what they claim was libelous in john's posts and what was not. Organised and itemised and cross-referenced to his posts. Or maybe we could set them up with a nice easy multiple choice checklist, like;
1. We do/do not play offshore games with ANZ paper.
2. We do/do not give our family's snouts an unfair advantage at the trough.
3. We do/do not regularly enjoy sexual relations with sheep.
4. We do/do not have a clue. |
