I will repeat what I said on the locked thread and on another thread. David is away and it is best if no more posts on PCA are made - so why are you posting.
David has locked the original topic - so can we respect his wishes not carrying on the discussion under a another name.
I dont see why Troll and Sniper - should self bar themselves from the list just think before you type. If you want BAJR to be here in a month... then think about it.
I do think that Troll's comment "No-ones taking anyone to court" is naive however. The laws of libel are there for good reason and are about the publishing of false defamatory infomation. Usually it is the publishers who gets sued first.
Recourse to law is expensive. Even the not so good lawyers charge more or less a week pay for a digger (hope I dont cause offence by use of the term). BAJRs meagre resouces are better spent on things other than getting legal opinions.
One of the main achivements of BAJR has been establishing a mechanism so that concerns can be dealt with quickly and fairly without the person concerned having to worry about their job. So use or you will loose it.
As to Troll's comments about the posting by PCA I dont think the statements were libellous even if they were true but I am not a lawyer. They were I think ill considered and written by somebody who was very angry. Outing people on BAJR is not the spirit in which BAJR baiting is conducted.
Intervention on BAJR is rarely neccessary and I hope that will continue.
