Lawsuit

[EJA]

Hello, I just want everyone on this forum to know that as much as it pains me, I will be suing the creators of this website, as well as several individuals operating on it for gross, offensive behaviour. Unless something happens to change my mind, you can all expect to hear from my lawyers very soon. Yours,

EJA

A selected quote from that article:

The High Court has ruled that defamation on internet bulletin boards is akin to slander rather than libel.
Mr Justice Eady hearing a case regarding posts on an investors bulletin board (or forum) has said that such comments are not to be taken in the same context as a formal newspaper (etc) article and are more like slander due to the casual or conversational nature of them.
Mr Justice Eady stated that posts on bulletin boards "are rather like contributions to a casual conversation (the analogy sometimes being drawn with people chatting in a bar) which people simply note before moving on; they are often uninhibited, casual and ill thought out...Those who participate know this and expect a certain amount of repartee or 'give and take'."
As such "When considered in the context of defamation law, therefore, communications of this kind are much more akin to slanders (this cause of action being nowadays relatively rare) than to the usual, more permanent kind of communications found in libel actions...People do not often take a 'thread' and go through it as a whole like a newspaper article. They tend to read the remarks, make their own contributions if they feel inclined, and think no more about it."

Good day.

How is disagreeing with you "gross, offensive" behavior?

 

[EJA]

Listen: They started abusing me, alright? That makes them the bad guys, and gives me the right to request that they be punished.

 

[EJA]

How is disagreeing with you "gross, offensive" behavior?

Don't worry, Admiral Young, I'm not upset with you. It's other people and their flippant shit that's annoyed me.

 

[Gov Kodos]

EJA has lost the plot.

 

[EJA]

No, Matthunter lost the plot when he thought he could give me shit and get away with it. Interesting how the mods haven't disciplined him, isn't it?

 

[Gepard]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Holy shit.

After picking myself off the floor from reading this thread, my girlfriend who saw my replies to this last night did say you gave as good as got, to be honest, I disagree with her as I thought you were being a pissy little girl over it. But the point is, you're not innocent in this shit storm and I can't wait to see the ban hammer placed squarely between your eyes.

Oh, EJA, how long have you been off your medication?

Charlie Brooker though has these words, one that I will abide by and I suggest you do as well:

 

[Admiral_Young]

I wasn't worried to begin with. You need to relax and chill man. I understand being frustrated and angry but this is the internet! This kind of stuff happens all the time. Maybe you need a break?

 

[EJA]

Ok, I will not be suing the website itself, but I'm still seriously considering drawing Matthunter's actions to the attention of my lawyer.

Slander on a private message board is indefensible in a UK court of law. It will be thrown out. You are, however, making threats against the board proper, the owner, other members of the board, and in doing so, the owners have the right to remove your access to this board, and are completely legal in doing so.

 

[Gepard]

The last guy who hinted around about pursuing legal action against the board got himself permabanned really fast. Just think about that.

ETA: Or what J. said. It's happened before.

 

[Gov Kodos]

Lawsuits over message board chats with anonymous people who don't agree with you. Yes, you've lost the plot. There is nothing here that can't be trumped in real life including cats coughing up hairballs on the sofa. Walk away from the computer, your getting way too caught up in this place.

 

[Admiral_Young]

Not to mention that this thread will probably be closed pretty fast.

 

[Gov Kodos]

He and the other mods may have this on their minds

 

[EJA]

I've just had an epiphany. This whole place is crap. Why do I even bother coming here in the first place? I've got much better things to do with my life than have these debates with such dickweeds. So you can all rest assured that you will not be hearing from me again. I quit. I know in my heart I'm better than the lot of you anyway, so your opinion doesn't mean jack shit. Goodbye, and good riddance.

That's Adorable!

Thread closed until one of the forum mods and / or admins is available to deal with this. EJA, I very strongly suggest you don't open a similar thread in this forum or anywhere else on this board.
