In reply to: Rodney 's message, "Re: Dankus" on 07:35:16 12/14/03 Sun

When I received the notice that a new forum was being initiated, I vowed I wouldn't get involved, but uninformed people who hide behind pseudonyms, such as "guess who", "Raychel", and whatever give me a serious case of "heartburn". Idiocy personified. Reminds me of the three characteristics and traits I detest; WARM BEER, WET TOILET PAPER, AND IDIOTS POSTING MESSAGES THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. Not necessarily in that order, but some semblance thereof...Guess Who for instance; read the messages carefully, check out the profanity and make a judgement as to his/her background, character, and literacy. Very limited brainpower with an absolute incapability of expressing an original thought. Solution to this dude's problem is very simple; completely ignore any post this individual makes. It's not worth the time to read it. "Raychel", a good person perhaps, but not knowledgeable at all when it comes time for her or him whichever the case may be, to make any sane judgement or establish any rationale about the newspaper business. It's evident in the posts rendered. I've read the "Dankus Posts" at length and conferred with more than one attorney. The ability to libel an individual on a public forum is certainly limited. You want a lawsuit, do it on a public forum. Nothing in the First Amendment enables you to do such...The libel suits could be filed, more by the Ellis County Press than Joey Dauben, even though he has a right and probably basis for filing against the owner and adminstrator of the Dankus Forum for allowing illegitimate and illegal statements be made with out censorship. You just can't run a public forum that way. Oh you can, but be ready for the consequences. The First Amendment, by the way, does not apply to individuals, it is the sole protector of the MEDIA, ie. TV, Radio, Newspapers, or any public media with relationship to the government and that's all. You individuals who think you can hide behind that better get some of the WET TOILET PAPER previously mentioned and do something with it. You want to help your fellow man? Do something about an editorial I'm currently working on for that "shitty Paper", dealing with Robert Trevino and the officials in Ellis County...Here we have a Vietnam Veteran, a hero with many commendations, railroaded to the state pen for something he probably didn't do...Hey "Guess Who" what have you done lately for the good of mankind....Watch your mouth though...I'm an old man, but I can kick your butt anytime, anywhere, That's not a challenge or threat, but a promise. I'll be glad to drive the 300 miles to do it also...
