I have had a look into the threads regarding Peter Jansen and can see that the first post on those threads contained words that were not appropriate. In this specific case we had to remove the whole thread to remove the first post, which was against the Message Board rules.

The first posts....
Yip, that's right. One of the Sexual Abuse Claimants who has been screwed over by ACC is being sued by Dr. Jansen (Head of the Sensitive Claims Unit) for calling him names on her blog. He is asking upwards of $250,000. His hurt, shame and financial loss is worth more than anyone who has been sexually abused apparently. He appears to be under the impression he isn't a "Completely Incompetent Prick" though no one would of guessed that one after the Independent Review Panel Report last year. He will get eaten alive in the media.

I recovered the first posts from VMN, the second as is apparent already had the first post removed which fails to explain why the whole thread needed to be removed. The second contains words that are 'not appropriate' according to TM.
TM specifically state that 'In this specific case we had to remove the whole thread to remove the first post, which was against the Message Board rules' whereas on the issue of the continued attacks on Karam (some 30,000 posts) the first post is already removed. A couple of years ago some threads were started about the fallen lawyer Eb Leary, they were also quickly removed.
Reading the remaining 1st post above from the 'dismissed' Jansen threads the only apparently 'inappropriate words' are those describing the good Doctor as an 'incompetent prick.' However these are the statements over which he is suing and I'm completely sure that he (Peter Jansen) has not sought suppression of those words in his law suit - in fact the are broadly published.
It is hardly obscure that Karam is likely to argue that TM have 'allowed' him to be defamed at length, the ongoing threads are strong proof of that. As for the intention to be proven against TM the disappearing Leary and Jansen threads provide substantial proof of TM holding a different standard when it suits them. The nonsense about some supposed technical reason why some threads are removed and not others of the same type is exactly that, nonsense.
Noteworthy, that supporters of the blogger Jax populated the removed Jansen threads while in the case of remaining Karam threads they're populated by in large of detractors and defamers of Karam - the man who is 'incidentally' suing Trade Me. Am I missing something here?
This arrived this morning from a correspondent who points out another glaring 'inconsistency'...
ReplyDelete....'it may be interesting
to note, the first post was removed a long time ago from the JFRB
thread, without the thread being removed. What that does is make it
impossible for the "community" to remove the thread.'
On consideration of this is appears that TM are committed to the publication of the thread whatever defamatory comment might appear on the thread at any point before and after the 1st post was removed, while we know that TM are not willing to let any conversation run on potential Dr Jansen threads - incidentally it is reported that Dr Jansen has now dropped his defamation proceedings, citing foremostly the welfar of Jax.
