That bolded part says nothing to me, so there was a delay that's not uncommon when someone feels vulnerable to harassment. Plus I don't think he'd seen the footage earlier on.

Are you saying he scammed The Mittani out of isk?


cool another alt saying a dumb thing




You mean like this dumb reply of yours, you can't even get your facts right.

I do defend peoples rights to post with alts, but I've never said that I was one.

If tasteless jokes about people gave rise to civil lawsuits as easy as the Internet Matlocks here claim, you'd see a lot more well-behaved people online. I can't count how many "die in a fire" comments and other remarks I've seen and read on the Internet, statements which are much more violent than Mittens' comment. If you think that merely uttering a statement that wishes harm upon someone gives rise to civil liability, you need to go back to Internet Lawschool. Any in-depth study of the laws you're alluding to would let you know that the burden of proof for IIED and other torts is quite high.

Let's not forget that it was Wis's mail that opened the door to "suicide" comments in the first place. Mittens comment was simply going along with the content of the mail he received from Mackinawbot. Had that mail message said suicideganking made him vote for Ron Paul, then Mittens may have simply said "Incidentally, if you want Ron Paul to win..." I'm not saying the comments weren't tasteless, but give me a break. This is not grounds for a lawsuit, at least not one that's going anywhere.

Let us know when two and three are done.



This is the problem with the world today. When her most capable and influential men cover their face with shame, and are crippled by guilt, leaving behind the most incompetent of men that have no scruples to find fault, nor desire to improve. As for everyone who exploited this, you should be ashamed. You might not agree, but I would never kick a man when he's down.

Get up Mittani.


So you expect us to feel sorry for Alex when he did to The Wis exactly what you said you would not do? Kick a man while he is down.

Somebody was arrested, charged and found guilty only a couple of days ago in the UK because of a Tweet.

So yes people can be arrested and found guilty for tasteless remarks on the internet.

This thread is going on too long. Not like Roadhouse, sometimes I think there wasn't enough "Roadhouse" in Roadhouse, but then, I wonder, can we ever have enough?
