Perhaps you should read the whole thread, then open mouth and insert foot. This has been covered, I know exactly how to spell both therms and exactly what I meant. Read the thread it may enlighten you a bit.

I went back and re-read up to your post where you made the statement that I quoted. Nothing was mentioned about libel prior to you getting up on your soap box. Perhaps an important post was deleted prior to your post. Regardless, there is little that you could enlighten me about, and if I decide to insert my foot somewhere you won't like where I put it, well actually from what I have heard you might....:rofl:

Pathetic really that you stoop to childish insults. I also love how hiding behind a forum how every one is a "big man" ready to at least hint at the threat of something physical. Some how I think if you were standing face to face with an average 16 year old kid much less a guy my size that tone just might be a bit more civil.

As for the libel/liable I meant LIABLE as in

liable - exposed or subject to some usually adverse contingency or action

And yes the part where I said that was deleted for some reason, probably due to the responses to it and the who way that got slanted, who knows.

Just to educate you,

"libel" is basically slander in the form of print, which one might make the case is what the poster I responded to did. However, one would have a very weak case if they did so because the poster not recognized as an authority or in an official position (such as a paid member of a recognized publication, etc.). Libel is a serious charge and can only be successfully sued for if the individual has a "recognized power to do harm" or if "sufficient harm can be proven".

However, an individual can be "liable" for damages if one makes "knowingly fallacious statements in public medium (either in print or verbally) where it is reasonable to believe that such statements could have a financially damaging effect on an individual, group of individuals or corporate entity".

No need to educate me on law, I'm well versed. You specifically said to "look it up in a legal dictionary", which as luck would have it I happen to have several on the shelves right behind me.

liable
adj. responsible or obligated. Thus, a person or entity may be liable for damages due to negligence, liable to pay a debt, liable to perform an act which he/she/it contracted to do, or liable to punishment for commission of a crime. Failure to meet the responsibility or obligation opens one up to a lawsuit, and committing a crime can lead to a criminal prosecution.

You can say that the intent of your statement was to infer some sense of legal liability based on how you perceived the other posters original statement, but I'm going to stand by my first thought when reading your post; that you meant libel and just had a brain fart, then tried to cover it later with some lame excuse.

As for your suggestion that my tone would be more civil in the face of your enhanced girth let me "enlighten" you. This is me being civil and your proximity would in know way change my opinion, or what I would have to say.... :gj:

And by the way, the legal "liability" you are talking about are the potential consequences of slander/libel. :rolleyes:

A bit hypocritical of you Jack, preaching about generalizing things in one post and then you generalize about everyone hiding behind a forum?

Anyhow, I'm likely close to getting a nasty e-mail from a mod for my last few borderline antagonistic posts so I'll bid you good night... ;)

Gee um looks like I hit a nerve, :snake:
