Ominous warning from Jack to DLT
#1
Toungue 
Do Jack Tracey, George Gollin (George D. Gollin, George Gollinsky, Gollum) or any of the other idiots actually read the linked articles in their entirety before making comments about how it may affect DLTruth? I fail to see any parallels between the two cases cited, one involving a private citizen who was libeled on Topix.com and suffered damages while the second involves a forum operated by several newspapers that claimed protection by the Indiana journaism shield law, and the commentary provided at DL Truth, much of it political and/or satirical in nature.

Of course none of these tools was the least bit bothered when some "new poster" (yeah, sure it was a newbie) incorrectly identified a private citizen without any involvement in DL as "Little Arminius." Fortunately the DD administrator, Gus Sainz, recognizing a libelous post when he saw one, removed the post lo más pronto posible, minimizing the damage caused to the private citizen. George Gollin, a public figure largely as a result of his incessant self-promotion, and that old fool John Bear, another public figure by virtue of his books and leadership in the DL field, said not a word.

So before Jack, George and the others start trumpeting the end of DL Truth, maybe they should ask their pal Nosborne to explain the basics of defamation of character lawsuits?
