decided to remove its Bain thread and will not let anymore begin. This is the message appearing in place of the deleted thread...
Due to the recent court action by Joe Karam against other message boards we have removed this thread and will be removing any further threads on this subject in the future.

Their explanation appears straight forward and reasonable, particularly because it seems the 'old crew' of sisters were over there persecuting and lying as always. It will be something that TM and JFRB, Counterspin, and Guilty will reflect upon. Probably evident that TM are not going to accept liability for their posters, which is reasonable, however all the law points to them failing on that. But like a falling stack of cards sella have provided a precedent which puts Kent Parker, Perkiss and Curran further out on a limb. sella plainly accept their role as publisher and understand their liabilities, they were not prepared to host the lies of Kennard, Stockdale and co because in doing so the 'truth' defence would have been denied them. But in a broader aspect, and leaving the sisters behind where they belong, sella has demonstrated (whether deliberately or not I don't know) it's appreciation of its role as publisher and bridges the grey area where defamers and stalkers imagined was a lawless wasteland. It never was a lawless wasteland (although gave that appearance at times I admit) which is not exactly great news for TM or the hate-site members. As I explained to Ralphie this morning, there's more to come.
Now watch the idiots like supersleuth try and gain traction back on the old Bainoholics thread on TM. They don't realise they are fighting a loosing battle, giving more evidence to the up coming Defamation case and loosing their few remaining supporters at the same time. It is good to know superidiot has deep pockets, he is going to need them.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting event nevertheless. One could speculate and say that sella realised they had been invaded by the small number of hate-site members that remain and therefore chose prudency knowing that the twisted sisters true to form would soon be making defamatory comment. I saw superdense making defamatory statements in his normal way and most particularly bragging about claimed contact with an esir Scientist which was both defamatory of the scientist and also implied that the scientist was involved in the illegal groups to which Stockdale belongs, not a good look for a prosecution witness. Stockdale is a right idiot.
ReplyDeleteGood on Sella. Free speech does not give anyone the right to use hate-speech against another person. I support Sella 100% for their stance and just wish Trademe had more of a responsible attitude.
ReplyDeleteRegardless of pending Court cases, it is not appropriate to allow these people to use a public messageboard to incite hatred towards anyone.
