[QUOTE] Beer mate?[/QUOTE] On the wagon mate - thanks all the same tho
I studied law (not as part of a law degree, just a general course) in the US where veritas is absolute, and I knew that verity was also an absolute defence in the UK, so I fondly assumed it was part of common law in Australia as well. I'm utterly appalled. Thanks for pointing that out. No wonder our fuckwit politicians and corporate shitheads can get away with so much! I'd be willing to suggest that HIH would not have been quite the debacle it was if the libel laws were not as they are. Manning
A second post on the same issue, when you would best have sat quietly and just collected what responses came. Berating the group in general for its lacklustre response, and all the specific examples that Manning has so wonderfully listed. You weren't just disagreeing with the norm, you were asking everyone else too as well. Adrian CT-110
Well thats got me covered then... You have just confirmed I don't think like a lame duck who leeches on society then... well well well.... kiwipete
Berating the group? Give me an example where I did that.... After some abuse came my way I challenged a few people... but have a look... show me where unprovoked I berated the ausmoto group... Since when is asking people to agree with you a sin? Plus show me where I did that.... No.... you can't... you are too busy following the line.... yet another little lemming who can't think for themselves... kiwipete
Example??? Or are you just going with the flow...? Come on... where did I abuse a person for just not agreeing with me??? kiwipete
Manning... good grief son.... you are really a joke.... to have made all that effort... why thankyou for enlightening me.... Meanwhile.... read your own post.... objectively... if you can... kiwipete
Hmmm, objectively: I called you an ignorant gimp - check. I explained the difference between libel and slander - check. I pointed out that none of my first post could be considered slander or libel - check. I observed that I was happy to consider my second post defamatory - check. I speculated that you couldn't win the suit of defamation because for libel to occur, it needs to be demonstrated that a reputation was further damaged, and I don't think that is possible for you - check There, done. All fairly objective in my opnion. Warm regards Manning
Yeah, but it's fun for now - we'd miss him if he wasn't here. He's not good enough of a troll to become annoying. Very true - thankfully 'opinion' is still defensible, although I was horrified to find out that veritas is not considered a defence here in NSW. Manning
what?????? cockhead!!! killfile me please and I dont want to drink with you either -- MH "Do they have a name for what's wrong with you? Somehow, "stupid" just doesn't seem to stretch far enough to cover it all... " Intact Kneeslider (aus.motorcycles)
Oh come now, a litttle lemming following the line? Please Kiwipete, I haven't tried to insult you at all, other than maybe suggesting you've insulted more ppl than Hatz. In fact, 'twas this argument that brought me out of semi-lurk status, so following the line comment is hardly fair. I'm not disagreeing with you initial posts or reasons for it, however, you said something like, I'll sit back quietly now for the results and filter out the worthwhile ones... if you had done that, fine, but you did fight fire with fire when people abused you, and followed up with a comment saying you were disappointed with the lacklustre response. People like me who thought that your post may have been in the wrong forum, and as such, politely ignored it, can only be aggreived when we are accosted by you a second time, bemoaning the lack of responses. I can think for myself, and do, and find it discouraging and perhaps a little worrying that you are so keen to accuse me of following someone elses agenda. Do you believe that the majority of any voting group cannot think for themselves? Or perhaps it is just that they all think, and funnily enough, think alike? Cheers, Adrian CT-110
Anyway, what is the go with Kiwipete ? I thought he The problem is...that his posts...have lots of...well you know...dots...that make them...a real pain.......in the arse...to read.
nothing to say... just want to test my new .sig Nev.. ========= That confirms what I think of you... kiwipete =========
