Let Women Speak in Glasgow this weekend 9th August 2 - 4pm

Another potentially interesting thread destroyed by 'webfare'.

Sadly I have started to feel that lately more and more that some only come on threads to engage in this long endless repetitive "discussions" that clearly are started by nothing but time wasters.

Almost as though we only feel safe just churning out the same standard replies to the same standard whatabouteries, and no notion of moving beyond that.

Turning FWR into a something that isn't pro-active or expanding but almost a comfort zone of endlessly repeating the same well worn statements.

Dear oh dear, the usual sidetracking and sadly been sucessful.

You're right.

Looks like the main event went well, and the police seem to have kept the anti-women protesters corralled.

Ok, so this is actually a straightforward one; there is enough evidence to show that I have an identity on FWR, as there are plenty of posts that reference my history and reference a concept of who I am, so there is a context in which I am known, which creates the necessary scenario for false statements to harm my reputation and for that to be legally actionable.

I imagine to suffer detriment to rep and credibility one would need to prove initial regard.

No one is daft enough to genuinely believe you can be libelled on an anonymous forum. This is just a tedious derailing tactic. I suggest people don’t engage. It’s beneath any sensible person and is detracting from the thread topic. As that poster intends it to do. Albeit with a snide threat of doxxing.

I can experience detriment to my reputation and credibility here can't I? Is that not real?

Report the post/s if you think they break TGs.

It can't be defamation/libel if you don't suffer any detriment.

As it's an anonymous forum and nobody knows who the fuck you are then you can't have suffered any detriment to your reputation in real life.

Dear oh dear, the usual sidetracking and sadly been sucessful.

For those who are interested in the event the video is available, and if anyone on this thread did go, would be good to hear from you.

(If only we could edit the title of this thread and say go straight to page 6!)

I think it's the student Union at Glasgow uni

🤣 @BezMills

Yeah his hand made Italian leather clown shoes don't come cheap, so hopefully GLP will continue getting well funded so he can pay himself a fat stipend for losing his cases. More.

It doesn’t seem to help Jolyon much, he’s always got lots of other people’s cash to spend on lawfare but it doesn’t have a great track record 🤷‍♀️

So when someone has clearly lied about what I have posted is that libel?

And should I have recourse in law?

So you think legal experts should work for free?

Or are you insinuating that bribes have been made?

Because the cost of the legal action should have no bearing on a judge's interpretation of the law.

What's the venue, do you know?

O I think you'd be surprised (or maybe not) at the legal cases that can be swung when you have a few hundred thousand to throw at them😏

Not really sure you'd have much of a case for defamation/libel when you're just an anonymous occasional forum poster.

But do get legal advice. I hear Jolyon is helpful.

Maybe you also have a legal summary of libel legislation and whether Mumsnet is the named party or whether they are obliged to take steps to identity posters on Mumsnet to facilitate direct legal action?

It's amazing how many GC posters here are happy with libel.

Where are those quotes of my posts again? There are 2500+ of them stretching back 6+ years

Still waiting..

Can’t fault that tactic summary.

It certainly is one that the poster has used many times.

I see the venue in Glasgow have asked the women to leave because their banners are making the bar staff feel unsafe. 🙄🙄

Big mistake. HUGE mistake.

I hope LWS take it further.

Meant to add, offering advice to do something illegal (in the manner of Stonewall) isn’t illegal in itself. Unless you were doing it in a professional capacity as an employment lawyer - that would leave you open to some trouble.
Note that Stonewall have added a “we are not lawyers” caveat to their claims about the right of trans people to use opposite sex facilities.
