I'm not an attorney, but I'm pretty well read on these things in a layman way, and here's what I think (just an opinion)...

On the one hand, you are not exempt from libel, slander, and defamation suits by saying what you say on a chat board.

HOWEVER, when someone sees what the standard level of behavior is on this board, where insults and taunts (both sincere and otherwise) are common, and when someone nevertheless decides that someone goes too far when engaging in what is pretty common behavior in this forum, THEN I think someone is being an ass.

I, for one, don't want someone who's quite that sensitive on the board, and if Rory were banned entirely from participating, I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it.

I think Rory owes the board an apology.
