Because Stinger asked

I made no use of the word defamatory – that’s your incorrect assumption Peter – misguided for a lawyer I would have thought. Nor did I infer slander, or request that the post was removed.

What concerned me was that it was very obviously a personal attack by some prick too scared to put his / her / its name to it and this site is supporting that, under the guise of Freedom of Speech.

I don't have an issue with anybody disagreeing with me, BUT I do want the opportunity of talking the issue through with that person, if they’re making public statements and I’m quite happy to come to their house / office / theatre / cell.

So stop the crap Peter, why don’t you call me son and ask, instead of rambling on about disappointment.   And Logos, I’ll relate you a lesson an old Italian chap taught me at a mine site in the Goldfields back in the early ‘70s - the 1970s!

It was crib time and, being young, (it was a long time ago!), male and loaded with testosterone, I was leafing through a copy of Penthouse. A particularly revealing spread caused me to stop reading the article and I showed the photo to the rest of the boys.

Everyone thought it was a great shot, except for the older Italian, he looked at me and said, “How would you like it if that was your sister, daughter, mother or girlfriend? Would you show everybody then. No, because it would be somebody’s ruined life.”

Free speech Logos? I’m with you. BUT with it comes responsibility and on this site, as long as people can attack without fear of being identified, free speech is a very lopsided coin.

Oh, one other question, Peter, how do you know the poster was male?
