About time some of the post got censored. Users of many newsgroups are not always familiar with the law of Libel. One has to remember that it is not only the original poster that can be sued for libel, but also the newsgroup and ISP. By censoring newsgroup posts the newsgroup are 'covering there back', and rightly so.


Is that so? Then why are the posts from certain MVPs that accuse people of being thieves, liars and idiots not pulled?

Which ones are they, Steve? I would love to read them.



Read here long enough, you'll figure it out, but for starters Carey Frisch calls people trolls (which is the same as calling someone a liar) who aren't (including me), Jupiter Jones calls people theives (especially Kurt), and Michael Stevens calls Andrew E. an idiot fairly regularly (Andrew E. is in fact an idiot, but that's not my point). For that matter I've even seen Malke tell someone to "fsck off" a time or two (and rightly so, might I add).

I'm not an MVP but have personally called a handful of people liar and idiot, and never had a post pulled because of it.

It is pretty obvious to anyone who's read this group for any meaningful length of time that certain people do get singled out for repeatedly making strong statements against Microsoft practices and for arguing with some of the more (presumably) influencial MVPs about those practices.
