Lack of respect has become libel

Read the JU Terms of Service

So it seems that a JU poster has committed libel against another poster. I have linked the article for your reference.

According to the legal definitions found on nolo.com, libel is defined as the following:

libel

An untruthful statement about a person, published in writing or through broadcast media, that injures the person's reputation or standing in the community. Because libel is a tort (a civil wrong), the injured person can bring a lawsuit against the person who made the false statement. Libel is a form of defamation , as is slander (an untruthful statement that is spoken, but not published in writing or broadcast through the media).

The JU Terms of Service, 3. Member Conduct, states:

(j) make malicious personal attacks, statements of libel, or other behavior deemed unacceptable by administrators.

Ock has never stated that he "hates" this poster. To assign and associate a word of such intolerance is libel and a direct act of defamation.

I truly hope that other bloggers at JU and the admins take notice of this behavior. Zoomba, I appreciate your response in regards to the TOS/TOU. The issue of libel, however, was not addressed.

As a whole, we JU bloggers are usually able to police our own actions. Unfortunately this blatant act of making a false statement has the potential to injure on a professional level, aside from being completely repugnant personally. The military takes any accusations of intolerance, hate in this case, seriously. To many the accusation spouted by this user can be merely brushed aside and ignored. When it comes time for promotion in the Navy, any question regarding character is enough to pass over a good candidate.

I do not know my defender

and I disagree with him often except on my offender

This is my only account on JoeUser

I share myself with no other user.

This might be a stupid question, but cscoles, eratheil, same person? I've only been observing recently, given the short times I've been on and off, but there are a few times I've noticed and wondered if they are the same person?

Plus, haven't we been down this road before, with this same persona? Changes name, reappears, do the same things all over again, wash, rinse, repeat!

Please...

Don't insult me.

But I do feel that people who have reputations to defend do not belong on a casual forum. I want them off because they damage the purpose of this site.

I love it when newbie members start calling for the booting of long time established members. That just cracks me up.

I was beginning to wonder that myself, FS. No way to tell, and it doesn't matter anyway. Cscoles seems to think this is about him, somehow, and I'm not real sure why.

Sorry you feel that way, dude. The email to send your complaint to is info@stardock.com

Apologies to Zoomba for having to receive another one.

Be careful what you say about me. I might sue you. What do you mean by newbie? I heard this is a major insult among the gamer community.

I have to be careful. The military has my hardline tapped. Sorry for any inconvienience this might cause you.

Our IP addresses are not the same

and this is not a game

just because we are new

does not make us few

I would have read

but now I dread

for where I once could write

now my text is covered in white

through the attacks that are black

and dishonorable and reason lack

that are leveled at me

by those who will pay a fee

if they were to aim at me face to face

for I could take it in pace

but they hit me with a mace

not in the face

for instead of hitting me in the head

they find that I am not dead.

Stop being irritating. Do they know who you are? The government wastes a lot of money on scientists like these two. They have the resources to re-waste, if the military is totalitarian enough to put that much fear in them.

It's daniel, returned with a spellchecker and a new found ability to form sentences. He needs to work on 'meaning' now...

Who?

Mhmm, I've wondered that for quite some time as well.

Quick thing to mention: Why is it when we get to have some relative peace and quiet without old Col. Gene and his crazy minions, we get two more (seemingly) nutcases joining? Is it me, or is it like some sort of cycle?

Good Christ...this turned into quite the clusterfuck, didn't it?

*sigh* dramadramadrama...oh well...I suppose we were due for it.

But to break up all the unpleasantness for just a second, here's a picture of a baby panda:

Nice wording Zoo, heh.

Oooh panda! Damn, makes me want Thai food now, but I don't have money. Curse you! *shakes fist* (Only kidding)

Grr...my original panda pic seems to have died...let's hope this one sticks around. (I would edit, but it seems the edit button has disappeared once again.)

~Zoo

Pandas are really cute,

especially with a bamboo chute!

Ahh, Zoo... You deserve a huge hug for the panda. /HUG

Who? The person who spams and the person who is against suing members of this community, or the people threatening to sue. You will have to be more specific.

I have utmost respect for Ock and his wife. I completely understand what they are doing, and why they are doing it. I myself wouldn't sue, but that's because I am completely different than them. Perhaps I will when i get older.

The nut cases I speak of are like the predecessors, wild, unintelligible, incoherent, and disrespectful. Granted, I used to be one, but I actually made an effort to change, and changed. More specifically, I refer to Erath, and other ones like The Politico.

Good night.

Granted, I used to be one,

You still are, Lucas, and I think it's transparently shameful the way you insinuate yourself into these kick-fests, like you're 'one of the guys' here. You aren't.

No one's forgotten your previous bullshit, your pathological lying, your constant plagiarism, your own version of forum-spamming, your repeated threats (promises) to leave JU and your repeated attempts to return under a different name and not be detected, and your childish hissy-fits when confronted.

Quit trying to be 'part of the gang' by ganging up on others. If anyone should know better, its you. So no, you haven't changed, not as much as you keep bragging about. If and when JU gets an ignore feature, trust me, you'll still be the FIRST on many people's list. (Well, maybe the second, after a certain stinking fat fish, but that's nothing to be proud of, dear Lucas. Nothing to be proud of at all.)

What's amusing to me is no where have either Ock or I threatened to sue anyone. What I have done is taken small measures to protect ourselves if it is ever needed. Somewhere CS has decided I am out to limit the freedoms and bring military oppression to JU. People on this forum who know me and Ock...who have read our writings...know this is not what we're about.

Something touched off a ticking bomb but that bomb was not me or Ock from what I can tell.

Hello all, was checking my "just passing by" article (sorry, not trying to promote my article here) and saw this interesting article.

Wow, how I miss these good old arguments between intelligent people and idiots (sue me for all I care). One thing I have to say though. As you can see, my name is CharlesCS, so I would politely ask for those using it to please not call csoles CS because it makes me look bad

LOL, just thought I would throw some humor (at least my brand of humor). But please bare in mind that I am not related in any way to the stupidities (again sue if you want) of csoles or erath for that matter. But it's good to see we have a replacement (in this case 2) for the old cook Coronel. I do miss him though.

Charles, I am sorry. I hope you know my intent was not to lump you together with cscoles. You are the original CS and I will not again refer to cscoles as CS. That was my bad.

For anyone reading this who may have any doubt, CharlesCS is NOT the CS I refer to in this or other articles along this thread. My comments are intended for cscoles.

CharlesCS, I hope to see you back more frequently to witness other blogging insanity. By the time you next stop in who knows what the scenario will be.

I'm happy to see you about and am sending prayers and good thoughts your way.

Promote away! People, if you haven't stopped by CharlesCS article to say hello go here!

You do realize that you quoted me entirely out-of-context?

Maybe your eyes don't see correctly, but the article was written on a lighter note than you're taking it. Wouldn't surprise me one bit.

You quote one dark line of mine, and I'll do the same about you.

For the record, and since I'm not posting on Certain Blogger's articles:

I love watching implosions. Nice, messy, bloody ones.

Much like the one we have on our hands right now.

So I think I'm going to sit back, pull open a bag of gummies and grab a coke, and enjoy the show. It's more entertaining than Jerry Springer!

Ahh, Zoo... You deserve a huge hug for the panda. /HUG

Sweet.

ASaxyGirl is my wife, Era. I know her pretty well. I recommend you get a lawyer. Think I'm kidding? Well, that's the gamble. Make it a good one.

What's amusing to me is no where have either Ock or I threatened to sue anyone.

Perhaps I will [sue] when i get older.

Sometimes America puts on a a really ugly face.
