I wanna just say "don't encourage her nasty gossip" but there is a slightly more important thing at stake.
POTENTIALLY, public posting of comments which could harm someone (regardless of media forum) where it can later be proved there was intention to harm amongst other things could cause problems for
John.
It's a lengthy 1st amendment issue; no actors for congress are involved so we aren't talking protected speech. I shan't and probably cannot (!) go into it in much detail - I just wanted to pay lip service to it.
I.e. if she/her publisher's counsel submitted a takedown notice (or action for damages) on the basis of published comments to the ISP of Greekchat it'd cause problems for him, too.
I'm not saying what will/won't happen/coulda/woulda/shoulda.
But that sort of thing can and HAS happened in relation to Internet forums before and I just wish to highlight the danger here.
Thanks.
