However, if Debian refuses to remove defamatory comments,
perhaps Debian could be held liable if Debian refuses to remove
comments at a person's request if the comments truly harm a
person's good reputation and, for example, destroys a person's
ability to get a job in software development, or anywhere else
for that matter. Who would hire me if they read what is now
being said about me by Andy Smith, et. al. on Debian's web
pages. If Debian wants to be sure to avoid such a lawsuit,
I think Debian should remove at least some comments to
completely avoid legal liability. I am sure I could find a lawyer
in the U.S. to try it if I wanted to.
