n law, defamation (also called calumny, libel (for written words), slander (for spoken words), and vilification) is the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government or nation a negative image. It is usually, but not always,[1] a requirement that this claim be false and that the publication is communicated to someone other than the person defamed (the claimant).

I think you - and the LU moderators should have a look at this section to see if your statements, are in fact beach of the laws of libel.
Your post concerning DF states that it is FACTUAL, when you have no proof or source to back it up.
That to me constitutes libel, as it paints DF as a negative image and derelict in his duty.
As I said, I am not a lawyer. I would not like my business acumen brought into disrepute because you repeat and post something you think is true.
I am not posting this to be vindicative, just posting it to warn you to be careful. I may be wrong, but it has a 'libel stink' about it to me.
Maybe Bigfella might have a better interpretation on it than me, because hey, I'm just a hypocrite because I stick up for my mates....
AND I agree with your statement Pleading ignorance doesn't change the facts remember that in a court case.....
:lol::lol:
You're a funny man pete. I may have erred in leaving out the word "alleged" (for which I apologise to The Colonel, as it seemingly resulted in you pestering him and that can't be a good experience for anyone), but everything else has been widely reported...as I said, you can easily find the sources yourself. If you've got the time to spend trolling for a full page about "libel" and "defamation" and generally fellating your mate while attempting to deflect from the issues at hand with your petty pedanticism...if I believe that DF has been "derelict in his duty" for some time (and I do), then that is my opinion, not "libel", so enough of the silly deflections...
