Or, you can say "the alleged drunkard."<br /><br />As ridiculoui as this sounds, a reporter of my acquaintance (writing for the most famous paper in the United States) was named as the focus of a suit for citing a statement that originated on the internet. He even wrote, "a system failure widely reported in other publications and on the internet," and was still served papers in a ction that had to be defended, even tough the plaintiff didn't stand a chance.<br /><br />You may also be sued for damages in the United States if you write something unpleasant about the nation of Brasil, and someone in brasil takes offense, and sues you. At this time, there are several cases like this pending in the US. Great Britain has already ruled in favor of the plaintiff in similar cases. This is utterly ridiculous.<br /><br />I think your best response was "Blow it out your ass." <br /><br />Mark Twain wrote a story and made up the most unlikely name for the main character, who was a dupe in the piece. A gentleman having that unlikely name showed up in Twain's office with legal papers. Twain asked if the guy was going to sue him over this remarkable circumstance. The guy did. <br /><br />The world is filled with scumbags.<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack • reep • Toad<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-49211166204742822702010-03-20T21:56:13.746-05:002010-03-20T21:56:13.746-05:00LOL!!

The original story was interesting enough I remember it well and the fact that he drank neither adds nor detracts from his character. I hate people who want to modify history even more than the victors already manage to modify it. <br />I guess you aren't going to be doing his taxes. Big loss. I'd take out the paragraphs that start with the wors "first" and "secondly" and leave the rest. On the other hand bobskoot has me summed up rather well.Conchscooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016331487463993200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-6690149315378799862010-03-15T15:58:49.834-05:002010-03-15T15:58:49.834-05:00Political correctness is the death of common sense...Political correctness is the death of common sense.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04582046943770681695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-64821717385892356492010-03-15T13:58:05.761-05:002010-03-15T13:58:05.761-05:00Jimbo/cpa3485:

I didn't notice any vendetta against anyone in any of your postings, except towards that curmudgeon down in KW of course. I'll have to find our old post and re-read it. It may also be possible that many who read your words are only reading letters of the alphabet and were not wise enough to put them together to form the words. Just an observation . . .<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">bobskoot: wet coast scootin</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.com
