I am no expert on this, but doesn’t the first amendment protect Jones
Beene from any possible legal harm?
Of course it does.
Jones, am I correct in my impression that you are, in fact, a lawyer?
Just wondering....
Of course, if it were so all-fired horribly illegal in the United States
to accuse people of having committed illegal acts, an awful lot of folks
would be in jail at this point as a result of claiming 9/11 was a US-led
conspiracy, that Dick Cheney was right there covering it up, that George
Bush engineered it, and that the mayor of New York was in on the gag...
And anyone who claimed bankers had committed fraud during the big real
estate meltdown could have been prosecuted for wrongly accusing the
bankers of wrongdoing (right up to the moment when the courts agreed
that they'd committed fraud, of course).
FWIW, Jones, while I have found your rather speculative attacks on
Rossi's device interesting, I have, unfortunately, found your scurrilous
attacks on Jed in this "discussion" kind of offensive -- enough so that
I've mostly stopped reading the threads where the two of you are lobbing
rotten tomatoes at each other.
The discussions are more entertaining when everyone remains on a
first-name basis. Mudslinging along the lines of "Rothwell's blind
devotion to Saint Rossi is enough to nauseate a goat...", followed by a
response from Jed which might run something like "Beene's asinine
accusations could be refuted by a profoundly retarded fourth grader...
", gets a little old after the first few insults go by.
