Does nobody listen? Everybody jumped on me for accusing Fenris or whoever the hell it was I accused. Then the moderator doesn’t even read my post carefully. I shut down my computer? I got reported to my ISP? Didn’t you read? I said it was a friends site. And if you geniuses had read the date, you would see that this is an old post! And the very bright spooje, tells me I don’t know what liable means. Yeah, we were talking about libel, not liable.

  3. Humour and satire are generally regarded as potential defences anyway.

  4. There’s no question here.

I already moved the other, identical thread to the Pit, so this one’s closed.
