And a chicken, to boot. Disabling comments indeed! If you don't want to get flamed all to heck, don't say really really really really really stupid things on the Internet. Sheesh. |

>don't say really really really really really stupid things on the Internet Wait...when did this turn into a discussion on revoking my posting privileges? |

And possibly committing libel as well. Dino, your posting privileges are secure, especially now that you have an even lower-than-Enderle standard to point to for comparison. |

> And possibly committing libel as well. Could be worth putting some thought in. Especially because Helios' association with Komputers4kids could lead to read damages for K4K from PP's ramblings. Perhaps a friendly lawyer over at Groklaw could take a quick look and advise whether it's worth contacting a lawyer over this or it it probably won't be worth the trouble. |

>And possibly committing libel as well. Sounds like libel to me. He's accusing Helios, DevNet, and maybe the Rev of a conspiracy to commit fraud. That's an accusation of a specific illegal act. If that ain't libel, I don't know what is. |

> If that ain't libel, I don't know what is. I've been think that all day, thanks for confurming. I'm sure that would come a real shock for Pete.... "Ah... But those posts are just 'virtual'." |

But is it libel if it's so ridiculous that no reasonable person could believe it? It might be treated as lame humor. |

bigg - That's an interesting question. One of the elements of libel is that it actually be of a nature to hurt somebody's reputation. If no reasonable person could believe it to be true, it may not be libel. I don't think we have that problem here, however, because that reasonable person need not know Ken, and a reasonable person who does not know Ken could believe that there is fire where there is smoke. |

The article is incoherent and pointless to where a reasonable person wouldn't even be sure WTF it's about. I think helios, devnet, and the Rev are safe. At least from this goofball. |

I think he re-enabled comments...I haven't tried because I'm pretty sure I'm IP blocked. |
