The only cool semi-quote from GB2 that I got to use was when I was in grad school and my professor was talking about what would be on our tests. He said "I'm not gonna ask you the atomic weight of cobalt or anything like that."

I blurted out "58.9"

I scared the class.

Meh, you ain't missing much, I wouldn't touch that article with a 20 meter cattle prod.

No story in link.

I clicked on "News and Features", and found the article under "Web Site Libel Part II".

Five sentences, no pic, no link to the website in question.

Web Site Libel, Round II
by Peter Galuszka

Margaret J. Freund is appealing a Richmond Circuit Court judge's decision to strike down the lawsuit she filed against a Richmond Web developer and several Internet domain firms, in which she charges that she was defamed.

The Richmond real estate executive sought $400,000 in damages from Brian Mount, an employee of Richmond-based INM United, accusing him of creating a spoof Web site featuring Freund in a demonic pose with a vivid quote from Vigo, a villain in the "Ghostbusters II" movie, including skulls, blood and evil.

She also sued Web companies GoDaddy.com for serving as host for the Web site and HostforWeb for helping manage it. The judge ruled March 4 that the Web site's characterization of Freund was opinion-based and not defamatory. Freund filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of Virginia on March 10.

Mandatory Me-Being-A-Dick: This has fark-all to do with the First Amendment. Disputes between two citizens can never be First Amendment cases. Why is this so hard to get?

Not purely a dispute between two citizens, now, is it?

Seriously, though, I get tired of people yelling "FIRST AMENDMENT" every time someone gets criticized. It's not a farkin' Willy Wonka pass. To bring it up in non-government cases shows a basic misunderstanding of what the Bill of Rights is even supposed to do. Do they not teach this shiat anymore? Damn, people, it's not that long, read it once.

As long as we are farking up amendments meanings...

Uchiha_Cycliste: What if person A is asking a gov. authority to restrict person B's freedom of expression?

"Congress shall make no law..."

Defamation is a common law tort. States can make laws that brush up against the First Amendment if it meets the strict scrutiny test - compelling government interest, narrowly tailored, and least restrictive means. Defamation statutes almost always meet all three tests.

You have no idea whatsoever what you are talking about. You clearly have never read any defamation case. You clearly have less than a junior-high-school education in basic American civic principles. What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this forum is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

So the 7 little dwarves had a limited partnership in a small mining operation. And one day a beautiful princess came to live with them. And they bartered housekeeping services for room and board, which was a real good deal for them because they didn't have to withhold social security or income tax or nothin', which you're really not supposed to do, you see, but for the purpose of the story, I think it's okay.

What's cool is that googling the above quotes from the article shows it occurs at FARK and styleweekly, but FARK is listed above styleweekly.

Sure, you could go with Hustler, and suggest madmann's been wrong since 1988. But that's only 22 years. Why not go whole-hog and cite New York Times v. Sullivan a half-farking-century ago, the most important libel case in American history, arguably the most important First Amendment case of the last half-century, that established that libel law implicates the First Amendment because it uses the power of the state (imposed by the courts, under the authority of state statutes and state common law) to impose liability for speech?

"We may dispose at the outset of two grounds asserted to insulate the judgment of the Alabama courts from constitutional scrutiny. The first is the proposition relied on by the State Supreme Court - that "The Fourteenth Amendment is directed against State action and not private action." That proposition has no application to this case. Although this is a civil lawsuit between private parties, the Alabama courts have applied a state rule of law which petitioners claim to impose invalid restrictions on their constitutional freedoms of speech and press. It matters not that that law has been applied in a civil action and that it is common law only, though supplemented by statute. See, e. g., Alabama Code, Tit. 7, 908-917. The test is not the form in which state power has been applied but, whatever the form, whether such power has in fact been exercised."

(If madmann is trolling, 7/10, 10/10 vs. law geeks)
