Board Lawsuits

[_asbestosman]

Shades, can we do anything to cut down on this? It's all fun and games until someone loses in court. I have a hard time justifying participation here if that's what this board comes to. Maybe that's precisely what many of you want.

I am not asking for you to remove a poster's legal right to sue another (much as I'd love to make that difficult because I feel it's overused). I am asking for some better boundaries to help make this nonsense much less frequent.

What do you mean by boundaries? Like, for instance, not being able to post personal information about the sexual history of historians? Or libelous comments about someone's personal life?

I think you are definitely on to something, here.

What do you mean by boundaries?

For starters, a permanent banning of anyone who even seriously contemplates a lawsuit against another board participant, even if it's for a very good reason.

How very Orwellian. Instead of the forums being named after Imaginary Heavenly Kingdoms we can have the Ministry of Love, Ministry of Peace, Ministry of Truth, and the Ministry of Plenty.

If you succeed in thought policing this message board it will be one small step for censorship and one giant leap for MormonApologetics.org.

I am doing no such thing. You will still be able to do what you could always do, except that once you bring in a lawsuit, you're banned from here. My proposition is no more thought-policing than your threats of being sued. In fact I would submit that my changes are less drastic than the continued threat of lawsuits which appears to be a growing risk with this message board.

Remember this little gem from GoodK on July 23, 2008?

Since Bob won't stop this kind of antagonistic behavior, which has now become harassment, I am on my way to the post office to mail an official California Attorney Complaint Form to the State Bar of California.

I am not going to post the completed form here - if I did I would have to go home and scan it and I want to get it into the mail today.

The form can be found here: http://calbar.ca.gov/calbar/pdfs/DispComp.pdf and the answer to number 7 can be found on my blog (if I haven't granted you access to it, send me a PM)

It is my sincere hope that Mr. Crockett will cease to publicly say hurtful, untrue things about my family or myself or any other person who chooses to participate here.

Mr. Crockett clearly does not respect personal boundries. I hope that the Office of the Chief Trial Counsel and the State Bar can persuade Mr. Crockett to do so in the future.

I had to self-report to my carrier with this threat. I was advised to get off this board as a result. All because I stuck up for his sister against the evil things he was saying, a young woman I know personally and a family friend?

Note that one of his grounds for reporting me: "untrue things about . . . any other person who chooses to participate here." He reported me for objecting to the things said here about others? My goodness.

[OK, I admit to a little baiting here. So, sue me.]

You probably should have kept that detail to yourself. Knowing that makes me happy.

Well, the way it works is this way. When a professional gets a threat against his license, he has to report it or else when the threat becomes real, the carrier might not cover it. Depends upon the threat. It was a hassle. But, it did not dissuade me from pointing out that your posts are empty of substance and that your Mormon Gulag story is a tissue of lies.

blah blah blah

I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I'm still waiting for that call, anonymous coward.


By the way, your home address is now positively in cyberspace. Sue me.

Let the chips fall where they may. You really should chose who you decide to taunt a little more carefully.

Very literate.

Just trying to deflect you away from Dr. Peterson, who has less ability to defend himself.
