It is but a small step to take.......the reverse/other side of the coin.

Quote:

The postings related to technology security company Datamotion Asia Pacific Ltd and its Perth-based chairman and managing director, Ronald Moir. One posting appeared under the pseudonym of ''witch''.

The way I read this article is that 'witch' referred to the Company and MD by name, in which case when tracked down the slanderer/libeler(?) can be charged.

No problem with that as the party slandered (Coy and MD) are recognisable in everyday public life.

What I am saying is that if I, froggie, was to say nasty things about you, Aussie, I don't think I can be charged at law with anything as nobody knows, theoretically, just who Aussie is.

I think the worst that could happen is that I would be banned from the board for abuse.

Yeas.....that is exactly the point. But.....if I can establish that others here know exactly who I am........it could get interesting. I readily acknowledge it is a frontier, and your point is solid.....but those thresholds are renowned for being crossed with landmark cases. Given just how popular this social medium has become, I reckon it is only a matter of time.

Agree.....
That is the whole point.

At this time any libel/slander charges of anon posters by anon posters is pretty remote.

Fair enough??

I've no idea why this thread could be construed as Feedback. It's going to Chat.

I am going to go out there on a limb mate.

Firstly, the OP most definitely is feedback - for you guys...

Secondly, I would think that your statement here could be fairly equally applied to almost every thread on every board, particularly once it has gone past meh, two maybe three pages.

Nice idea to try and keep people on track in threads, but, let's be honest here, almost all threads digress so far from the mark they become "chat" threads.... That would suggest that the chat board is significantly underpopulated.

I agree that this thread is now a chat, what I find oddly arbitrary is the distinct lack of other threads having been shifted here...
