Here on the Forum we're not judge or jury or have the time to consider evidence in defamatory claims made against each user. Now as a previous post has become personal and legal action has been mentioned we're asking people to be careful, so I recommend that replies regarding the above posts from the concerned parties are withheld even though they're probably going to be really juicy and fun. We're toying with the idea of removing the post, but then we'll might have to remove the whole thread, and then where do we stop? As MC Hammer would have said if his name was MC Dilemma, "it's Dilemma Time!"

We will continue to ponder and discuss with our moral councillors.

I would also like to point out, as it's been mentioned before, the fundamental distinction between libel and slander lies solely in the form in which the defamatory matter is published. If the offending material is published in some fleeting form, as by spoken words or sounds, sign language, gestures and the like, then this is slander. If it is published in more durable form, for example in written words, film, compact disc and the like, then it is considered libel.

how exciting!

An interesting perspective on defamtion is the effect - i.e. that it sullies or causes problems for the "defamed" persons reputation - hence mr Archer will be unlikely to bring any slander / libel cases against anyone in the future, as he is "marked" already and his reputation is besmirched anyway.

so if you have bad rep anyway, it poitless thinking about action.

I cant wait for the next episode of this drama ! it beats watching reruns of The Rockford files on Freeview !

I called panther cars from sainsburys recently, I was told a cab would arrive in ten minutes - 20 mins later i was still waiting around for a cab. So I decided to call them back and find out why it was taking so long, I received nothing but rudeness and verbal abuse from the operator. I called a another cab number that I just so happend to find in my handbag, I was told a car would arrive within 5 mins, and guess what? a car did arrive within 5 mins. The driver even got out and helped me load my shopping into the boot which made a nice change, the driver was so sweet and friendly (not bad looking either) we got chatting and he told me that he works for a new cab station based at the end of Barry road called Capital Carries. I've been using them ever since and I'll definitely be using them in the future. I highly recommend them, give them a try some time - I think you'll find the service overall is the best in Dulwich.
