"MNHubbie, this woman will know very well that the OP was talking about her as they both had the same conversation.
So it's ok is it to call someone a bigot in public and not substantiate it with proof?
I disagree that she could not be sued."
And? You disagree but you are incorrect. I would strongly recommend that you do some research into the legal matters you are quoting before saying anything further. You have been very fond of calling people idiots on this thread whilst displaying ignorance on several points. I will not stoop to doing the same but I would suggest to you that perhaps you are not painting yourself in your best light.
You cannot sue if:
You are not clearly identifying the person in question (being able to recognise yourself does not count as clearly identifying, the key is that others who know her could identify her easily and/or that a wider audience would now be able to recognise her)
The statement is true.
The statement is fair comment.
Or putting it another way... The bigot can't bloody sue! Get over it.
"As for putting up pictures of your kids on the internet (obviously you have done this), you don't have to be a rocket scientist to work out why that's wrong. They are people, you know, not possessions. They should have a say in who gawps at them."
"Too right I wouldn't. Just like I would never in a million billion years put up a profile of myself or a photo. As for putting up pictures of kids, that should be illegal. Talk about an infringement of human rights ..."
So I was wrong to share via Facebook photos from our last holiday together with my late mother. You know I want to be polite but fuck you. You really do not have a clue about the law or anything really do you? Illegal to put up pictures of your kids? What planet are you on? You also have no clue about human rights. I have been incredibly patient and polite on MN so far (I hope) but frankly you go beyond taking the biscuit. You come on this thread making bold statements that are utter tripe and then accuse others of being idiots for not agreeing with you! AND more to the point you call folks idiots when your own version of libel laws would leave you open to being sued. I'm sorry, I really can't cope with you without getting too exasperated. It would be rude for me to question your intelligence or knowledge.
I am feeling a little rude towards you though and not in a good way.
"Finally, are you mad? Trawling back through previous posts to find out what I've written? I suppose I could be flattered ... "
No you should be worried if you have been caught being hypocritical. Why is it mad for someone to go back through your posts? We don't know you personally so contact via the online forum is the only chance we have. How dare you question someone's mental health for doing a very sane thing. Once more you insult someone after stating to do so online would be libel (in the current context it isn't but in Bobby-world it is) and once more you insult someone for doing or saying something correctly whilst pushing a falsehood.
