Surely under your legal system everyone has the right to sue another person for anything - it should of course go to court, because under your system the court decides whether defamation has taken place - not you [img]tongue.gif[/img]
If it is not defamation, then surely your marvellous legal system will decide that - which is what it's there for surely? Just MHO.
yes and No Epona, you see the Judges have the right in our system to judge the "worthiness" of a case to be tried. If the Judge thinks the case is a load of "Horse Hockey" he can toss it out...period...end of issue and save the tax payers a ton of Money...personaly I think this type of suit should have to be paid for by the suing party up front...then they could recover costs if they win. The USA is acknowledged to have the highest incidence of nuisence lawsuits in the world...we are turning into a nation of pansies, if we spill our hot coffee on ourselves we want to sue the people who brewed the coffee...utter stupidity....
