Enforced TOU? How do you do that? Do you realize that if ANY state legislature or Congress passed the language of the TU into law, they would be thrown out as excessively vague and broad by the first court they hit and no appeal would succeed? Here, just a small chunk: Use Silicon Investor for illegal purposes or for the transmission of material that is unlawful, OK. harassing, Harrassing. If you express an opinion and say any thinking person knows better, is that "harrassing"? How about a political difference of opinion? A difference about interpretation of a balance sheet? A chart interpretation? Any thinking person can come up with dozens of examples that in one groups eyes are "harassing" and in another's aren't. libelous, Courts decide that, not SI. invasive of another's privacy, If I say what region of the country you live in, am I in trouble? How about the state? The city? The region of that city? What is needed? abusive, Abuse is in the eyes of the "abused". threatening, Maybe. CERTAINLY needs tightening up of the language, though. harmful, Harmful???? HARMFUL???? ON A BULLETIN BOARD???? ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!! WHOOPS! I think I just blew the next one. vulgar, That's one of those "I knows when I reads it" things, isn't it? obscene, Substitute "see" in above. tortuous ("tortious" or whatever -- you know what we mean), No. I don't. I thought courts of law decided that too. improper or otherwise objectionable. "improper or otherwise objectionable"? Are you SERIOUS? THAT can cover ANTHING! Not only that, but ALL of the above are violated on an hourly basis with no consequences.
