You have threatened (and seemed most intent and serious about it, too) to post a wall of shame that would have very real life, damaging consequences to many list members.Assuming for a moment that such damage would actually occur, the authors of those messages themselves would be responsible for any damage that might occur, not me. It is, after all, their own writings that got them into the Hall of Shame.
Let's say that you apply for a job. The employer does a Google search on your name and finds your recent messages in the Yahoo!Groups archives. He concludes from those messages that you are intolerant and decides not to hire you. As those messages are *your* writings, you have only yourself to blame, not me. Nobody forced you to write those messages.
Compare: you have committed a crime, you are arrested and tried, and sentenced to a year in prison. Your conviction is obviously a consequence of you committing the crime. Following your reasoning, the judge and jury, not you, would be to blame for you being jailed.
This is more than just "semantics". I think it says a lot about you that you fail to see that.BTW, the definition you give of "threat" proves you wrong, and actually proves that my Legal Notice does not contain any threats; nowhere do I mention any intent to "inflict evil, injury or damage". Damage *might* result from publishing your message elsewhere, but doing damage is not the *intent* behind publishing your message elsewhere.
I am, as usual, not interested in debating semantics with you.
You have proven yourself most capable of taking action in the past that is intended to cause real life harm to people on this list.I have *proven* myself capable of taking action that is intended to cause real life harm? Exactly what actions might that be, and who suffered what real life harm because of them?
