Kings Coach As Eg. Misguided. Need More Direction

[Taxing Matters]

No opinion makes sense but how much does that sound like I’m defending him?

If you say nothing one way or the other then you won't be seen as either supporting him or defending him on the issue.

Also I’ve read and it’s believable a majority of women don’t make up stuff for defaming or money.

If you want to play odds, I suggest you go to Vegas. You have no idea whether the claims of this particular woman are true. Even though most women don't lie about this stuff, some do and you don't don't know which one this woman is.

How can I get sued if I said that?? Isn’t that freedoms of speech? Like if I call someone a pedophole and they’re not one how exactly can I get sued for that??

Because falsely stating that someone is a pedophile or a sexual harasser is defamatory. Freedom of speech does not allow you to harm the reputation of others without consequences. And the consequence is that you may find yourself sued for defamation.

An excellent reply would be that it the (insert NFL/NBA/MLB sport here) is made up of mainly overpaid, under-educated thugs that paly children's games.

[Oliviamails]

I agree with you. Excellent topic!

nflmissile, I'm going to tell you what you want to hear. Taxing Matters, adjusterjack and cbg are all trolls on this board...

You go right ahead and say what you want to say to your friends, the locals, children at school, the diner, the move theater and you can even call the newspaper up and say what you want to say.

Then in six months, come back here and tell us how you're doing?

You're not understanding the difference between being sued and being sued successfully. To file a lawsuit all somebody needs is a belief (right or wrong) that you have done him wrong. Then it's just a matter of writing the summons and complaint, filing it with the court and serving it on you. Then you experience the onerous and expensive process of defending yourself.

Freedom of speech is not absolute. You can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater (when there is no fire) and not experience serious consequences.

And you can't tell lies about people with impunity. If you call somebody a pedophile (when he isn't) and somebody believes you and that person loses his job and his reputation because you lied about him, you get to experience the consequences.

At this point I think you are either a troll or basically just a rotten person trying to justify engaging in defamation. Either way I'm done with this conversation.

Good luck with your life.

There is no need to resurrect a two-month old thread in order to make a comment that offers nothing of independent value.
