Huguenot Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 If you argued that society considers promiscuity to be delinquent, and that being a Lothario shows a lack of consideration for the well being of others, then you could argue that it was defamation. If it suggested an element of sexual harassment then it would be damaging for his business.It wouldn't be me arguing it mind, it would be lawyers who cost more money than the adminstrator posesses. It wouldn't matter if he won or lost, he'd be poor.

Mikecg Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I've been visiting a muso forum for about 6 years now, and if the libus thing you are touting were a serious threat I would be in guantanamo bay now getting water boarded. However I resect your experience and judgment.Thing is, their are other derogatory comments about another establishment within this thread, why hasn't that been edited out.? you cant be half baked about policing peoples comments. or can ya........

Mikecg Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Its only a forum and people do get heated, and say some really inflamatory things to each other. I have first hand experiences from this place. On the otherhand it's all part of it I suppose. Some do take it to a really serious level though. I've always treated these places as a platform to take the piss sometimes. But I wouldnt want to really upset people into wanting to persu vengence through the legal system. Id rather meetup for a beer or fisticuffs over the park....

FelicityNormal Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 I don't think it's libel if what you are saying is true, and in this case it is true. However, I will not publish the man's name on here. That said, he is something of a danger for several reasons. I am astonished more of you have not had horrible run-ins with him.

Brendan Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Well if someone is either endangering or harassing people then I think you should tell the cops. Then it probably shouldn?t be discussed on public forum until they have dealt with it.

red devil Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hi Huguenot,What's your thoughts on the libel situation re.

Mikecg Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I attended dury service once where the defendant had pinch a girls butt in a nightclub, I thought it to be rather petty. He was found guilty and got a 28 day custodial sentence. If however the guy is just a bit over familiar then, let it go.

If that's the case, better to involve them and do something to put a stop to it than scaremongering on a forum surely...

FelicityNormal Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 This individual has not had the chance to give me anything as I turned him down but I've since discovered that he's been with two local women I know and one of them now has health problems as a result. Wondering if he is purposely trying to harm people or he is just randy as hell and being reckless.
