Humbly report, Cindy, please note the word "ridicule" is in quotation marks in my post - #reply-9338206.

I'll chose to ignore the rest of your "leaps of imagination" about me, and about what "precisely" [reference deleted]'s contention is, except to ask . . .

Are you going to sue me if I say you're ridiculous? On what basis in law?

Cheers,

Svejk

There's a law that says they must bend over and allow their rights to be violated?

Let me guess - It's called the CindyEllen Stature?

Excuse me, Cindy. But "ridicule" and "mockery"--as in parody and satire-- especially when provoked, are not normally considered actionable.

And when they are, "irreparable harm" must be proved. Sorry to bother you with little bits of here and there law, but that's the way it is.

I would add: it's extremely difficult to ridicule a person or entity that doesn't make itself ridiculous.
