PE> Timothy someone rang me up today, asking for your details,

PE> Looks like his name is "Tim Brosnan",

Yep, Andy later said that in BBS_USER.

PE> he logged onto my BBS an hour ago. He rang me up an hour
PE> ago too, to tell me he got your details from another source,

He claimed he got it 'off the internet'. It would be
possible to do that if you know what you are doing.

PE> so won't be suing me. I asked him if he got the
PE> details from another BBS, and he wouldn't tell me.
PE> I think he got them from a mate in telecom etc.

Well, I'm not hard to find if you do notice that I'm not in Sydney.

RS> Tell him to go and fuck himself. He's got buckleys doing
RS> anything from Melburg anyway, and wouldnt have a hope in hell
RS> of ever getting a 'court order' in this particular case anyway.

PE> I think he's backing out of it already.  He said something about
PE> "Basically, I realise Rod Speed is just a twit, but I think it's
PE> worth suing him anyway".

Yeah, they may well have second thoughts after they contemplate the
damage they have done to their own cause. Bit hard to try to pretend
to a court that you have been mortally offended by the use of the phrase
'bum buddy' when you have used the phrase 'dickless piece of faeces'

And I've got a sufficiently warped sense of humor to find
it fucking hilarious if they choose to piss tens of kilobucks
against the wall in the process of finding out that they havent got
a fucking hope in hell of winning in those particular circumstances.

PE> Do you need any character witnesses?  For $10, I am happy
PE> to swear on a stack of Blake's 7 videos that I've never seen
PE> you say anything insulting to anyone in my entire life.

Thanks, the cheque is in the mail |-)

PE> Do we have any examples of successful
PE> suing against someone you don't even know?

It has happened in some particular circumstances, tho only those
where the 'offense' has happened in something like a newspaper etc.

And thats all changed drastically after the
recent High Court finding on free speech anyway.


The stupid pricks just cant grasp that since being a poofter aint
illegal anymore, they've got as much chance of 'suing' successfully as
I would have if you said I was a hetero. Or had red hair, which I dont.
