Before The Honourable Mr Justice Eady

Queen's Bench Division

The nature of bulletin boards, para. 13 onwards:

"...uninhibited, casual and ill thought out" - CHECK
"...akin to slanders" - CHECK
"...mere vulgar abuse" - CHECK
"...people are just saying the first thing that comes into their heads" - CHECK

That's all right then - carry on everybody

Where they talking specifically about General or cuk in general?

Does that mean we can have the sweary filter switched off?
And the return of inline images

**Alf W** · 29 July 2008, 21:38

There's **** all chance of that happening.

Did you read the full transcript!!!

What a knobhead! Mr Justice Eady certainly had him sussed

Mystery to me. Why was he exempt from court fees? Why would the solicitors represent him on a conditional fee arrangement with that sort of case? Wasn't it relevant that his proper name was not known? How can one slander an avatar?

PS I am searching CUK for any previous nasty comments about me and will sue you all.

I did indeed... it kept me away from TPD for quite some time

One of my favourite bits is para. 93 subpara. 5:

He wishes also to defend the description of Mr Smith as a "destructive twerp" as either fair comment or mere vulgar abuse.

We'll just make sure it goes in front of Judge Eady,

None of you can sue me because I'm always really nice and pleasant towards you all.
Have a nice day now !
