Never let the facts get in

Never let the facts get in the way of a strongly held, stridently expressed opinion. Especially if that opinion is informed by an equally ill-informed view found on that font of veracity, Facebook. I will not itemise the detail of threatened legal action in this public forum but as always am more than happy to share this detail with the committee. There was one threat of legal action earlier this year. The first in more than two years. Year - threats 2013 - 1 2012 - 0 2011 - 1 2010 - 4 2009 - 1 2008 - 1 These eight complaints related to 184 posts or comments on the website. Of these, 137 were posted by registered users and only 47 were anonymous. The vast majority (not quite all) "problematic postings" resulting in legal threats have been by registered users. Judging by most requests for removal on grounds of alleged defamation the worst person on the site is a registered member called Labrug. Where have all the complaints in the last five years originated from? So-called "agents" attempting to silence complaints about fees, quality and lack of service. Number of threats resulting in any actual legal action whatsoever? 0 Would you care to revise your position on this evidence and, according to your logic, suggest that registered users should be banned and that only anonymous postings allowed? There have indeed been some outrageous comments posted on this forum over the years and the clear majority of them have been posted by registered users just like you. I hope that this has helped you find some much needed perspective on this issue. You may now wish to find something more worthy of your outrage.
