ok.... now that everybody has had their laughs .... Defamation is a very seroius matter .... and has probably cost PlatinumBucks far more in lost potential revenue than the $385 that has been mentioned here ... This whole thing was never about the money ... it is about publicly assaulting somebody's business ethics and character.
I agree ... if it were over only $385.00 then it would hardly be worth it ... but you guys have to realize that it goes much further and cuts much deeper than that ...
I too have been defamed recently on a certain messageboard that will remain nameless, and when such allegations are made on a board that virtually everybody in the industry at least lurks on ... then yes it is a very serious matter. I think Dave and Dan are handling this in the correct manner.
An example has to be made .... that people cannot say whatever the hell they want on a public forum and not be accountable for it ...
To parallel this incident ... it is like saying if a drunk driver maims or kills an innocent child, he/she cannot be held responsible for their actions, because they were drunk at the time that it happened.
THAT AS WE KNOW, IS BULLSHIT !!!
Dave and Dan ... you have my support.
Maybe once a few of these loose-lipped
nice people** get sued (not naming any names at all), it will make everybody realize that yes you still do have to watch what you say on a pulbic forum.
