I hope you realise that if I were the litigious type, you would be receiving a court summons in the next day or two (it's lies, btw, for those of you watching - I hope nobody bought that 'secret offenses' noise, it's like the PATRIOT act or something). Consider yourself fortunate that I am not so inclined, and be *very* careful about what you say in the future; other UK residents may not be so generous. Of course, if I find you causing me actual monetary damage in some way, I might change my mind. [There's considerable case law for this with email. "An untrue statement of fact which damages the reputation of a person (or a company) or holds him, her or it up to hatred, ridicule or contempt is libellous" is one of the common phrasings of the test, and email authors are held to the same standard as journalists. There is no "freedom of speech" principle in UK law; you can express opinions, but that's all. You may not make false *or* *unprovable* statements of fact with intent to harm.] And if you start mud-flinging in earnest, I don't think I would be the first one to be expelled from the project. I have no interest in you, but you really do not want to force my hand on this - I haven't done anything wrong other than holding opinions you don't agree with, and you certainly can't put any evidence behind that 'detrimental to the project' claim, but *you* are pursuing a personal vendetta. Again. Oh, and that would be 'incitement to cause harm', which is a criminal offense these days. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
