PM sent - reply received.
The person knows my feelings on free speech, thanks me for my concern but has documentation to back up their allegation.
However, one point is a little weak...
But I did recall precisely he mentioned this verbally through the phone and not..... (email or printed text)
Hmmm - I don't want this youngster to get into trouble.
Actually this happened to me about 6-7 years ago on UBB Classic.
I stored the libelous files on a hidden forum (they
were libelous and very unpleasant) along with the posters anonymous IP and email address.
I received a court order to reveal all.
Which in that case I was happy to do.
They (a very powerfull 'body') forced the ISP to provide their logs and successfully persued the litigant.
I wonder how many of you have been through this?
Is the website responsible for allowing the libelous allegation to be published?
