(a)Who decides if something posted on this website is defamatory?
(b)What qualifications do they have to do so?
(c)Who is said to have been defamed?
(c)Since when has it been policy of this website to remove a post on the grounds of "defamatory information" anyway?
If we all knew that we could have a post removed just by claiming that it contained defamatory material and requesting its removal, I suggest that there would be very little left on here. Also, it should be borne in mind that TRUTH is a complete defence to a claim of defamation.
Come on 'Administrator' - let's have your reasons and satisfy our curiousity.Puzzled

(a) I sincerely don't believe anything posted on this website can constitute defamation. But I will act, as a matter of courtesy, on specific complaints regarding allegations of defamatory content.
(b) No decision involved, no qualifications required.
(c) Usually, by implication, the complainant.
(d) Always. Please read the disclaimer (under the about menu).
You are correct regarding the possible implications of this policy. Thanks for drawing that to everyone's attention.
;-)
Cheers

Sorry but No.
Sun, 15 Feb 2009, 06:18 pmSorry Greg but I do not accept your example as a valid support of censorship.
The young woman in question entered voluntarily into a contract for which she would have been well recompensed. It would not be my place to criticise her even if she were a relative or friend of mine, provided she were adult and had made her own free decision. It was her body and her choice and I fail to see where her life was ruined.
You accepted criticism from an older man who comes from a culture that, by our standards at that time, had an older far more paternalistic attitude to their women.
Respect is I believe what you are talking about. Did you show respect to that young woman. Only you know that and that is a matter for you and your conscience, it is not a matter for censorship by any paternalistic government or governing body.
Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing.
