douglas - // Now that's sparked the imagination.

A patience of Job's worth? //

That's brilliant!!

Wounding, but still brilliant!!!!!

Schofield's reputation could be damaged by your allegations.
That amounts to libel in law.

oh dear we need to re-read the LadyBird Book of modern libel law

we know that the brother has been convicted
that Schofield respected confidentiality o n this subject
that the brother confessed over a washing up tub to his brudda
that
and schofield no tell Holly

and you are worried about LIBEL? - wow

Now the mods ( doncha love them) have been influenced by Boris bluster about suing the lawyers for reporting him the police.
I have been egging on the media to say he doesnt have a case - the penpushers have to report anything that looks like a crime - not be certain of it . But we really always knew that, didnt we?

You can report on a suspicion ( "anything not fanciful") -

hope that is a bit clearer
or
Schofield suing over paedophile statements - jesus

just about does it
answer - if someone complains to the police and you are not proceeded against, you are still absolutely screwed
( incredz xc GMC ) - as I found ( but knew already)

Private Eye tried to defend a libel action by saying he has no reputation to lose ( Maxwell or Murdoch) - didnt work....

silly question! and your question is?

[Raving-Mod]

royfromaus, you have questioned my decision to delete posts I believed to be potentially libellous.

I do not intend to continue discussing this with you any further.

doug: "What's the collective noun for a group of moderators? " - A double standard....?

[Peter Pedant]

your ramblings are not helpful.
er my ramblings ARE helpful : you just dont understand them

libel + schofield, wont go - that simple enough? I understand you are a mod

[Peter Pedant]

Thus if a defamatory statement is made on Facebook, then Facebook’s owners won’t be held responsible for it, as long as they can show that it was made by a user.

just about covers it ( for those who can read)

yes but

/// if a website operator provides users with absolute anonymity, then it will be held responsible for the content posted there.///

Which AB does.
