Thank you for your kind words today, and I will look forward to your input tommorrow.

Here is my input: I wrote with private mail, to you FresnoDA and the Moderator, about a potential liability issue, concerning your posted photo of Denise, and YOUR caption suggesting bestiality.

YOU elected to take my private communication, and make it public. I did not.

The fact you are also now writing to Jim Robinson, indicates I was not alone, in questioning your practice, and recognizing the liability issue.

I don't take issue with your use of public domain photos, in general. I did take issue PRIVATELY, when I felt you opened FR to liability; which for me trumps your vicarious obsession, with swinging and the swingers.

In other words, while you obviously need the attention, FR is more important to me, and I was taking private steps to avoid trouble for FR.

I never threatened a lawsuit, and I am not a lawyer, although your misleading public posts might falsely have led readers to that conclusion. You also falsely labeled me as a "Van Dam apologist." I am waiting for the rest of the case.

For the (now public) record, I am reminded to avoid any attempt towards dealing with you, in private, responsible, communication, because you will blab, blab, blab...without quoting or accurately reflecting exactly WHAT I DID WRITE TO YOU Privately.

For me, that is the end of the matter, public or private. You do with it, as your judgement guides you.

The rest of us here are concerned about this issue. We don't think anyone, FresnoDA included did anything beyond what has been done on numerous threads, not just on Danielle, but on a myriad of subjects.

The commentator on SanDiegoChannel, KGTV, said that he thought the Cherokee Young's mother and a dog had mated. This is being watched by possibly thousands or more on the internet.

FresnoDa made a parody. He didn't (I don't believe) say it was a fact. He and others were lampooning the CLINTON episodes.

The things that have been said about CLINTON would , if a lawyer were able to sue for them all , generate a KAZILLION DOLLAR lawsuit, huh?

So, while I understand your concern for Jim Robinson, Why did you just pick on FRESNODa? What about the million other things the rest of us have said? What about the things said about Clinton, or TWA800 and the people involved in it?

I know, where do you draw the line? Well, I think we do fairly well in letting someone know they are getting into the bad taste category.

Maybe some things have been close to that line, but again. Why pick on one person?

I appreciate your concern about any potential liability, but if JimRob had a dollar for every possible act of libel on this website he would retire a millionaire.

What I find particularly disturbing is using the threat of a lawsuit to halt the flow of information about this case. This is a new tactic, and one of the lowest I've seen so far. I guess getting threads, messages and accounts pulled is not enough for some people, so now this is the new thing? What's the matter, did people keep posting opinions disagreeable to certain factions here--despite all the thread, message, and account pulling?

Unfortunately, it's worked for some people. Some people left rather than put up with lawsuit threats.

Jim Robinson didn't like it when the Washington Post did it to him (and we all supported him in his struggle against them). Now I will say for all to read, I don't like it when someone is trying to pull this on another Freeper. Maybe you won this round TS, at least on paper. But there are other ways to tally winning and losing, and in some of those, you come up lacking.

Every day, I see a number of threads under the heading of "Caption This." What Fresno did is NO worse than what people write on the Caption This threads. In fact, Fresno's are just plain old vanilla compared to most!

Shame, shame on everyone who allows this kind of threat to occur on a place called, oddly enough, "Free" Republic.
