    MM already proved you can yell "FIRE (McAsshat)" in a crowded forum with only minor repercussions

    Libel is writing knowingly false about someone, damaging their reputation. The key though is that stating an opinion is different, and protected - an opinion is just that. If someone here says "That Stevenson is a friggin' blowhard" I couldn't sue because it is an opinion. But if someone writes "That Stevenson sneaks into every Blazer game", I could probably sue because that is a false statement of fact.

    Whether that media protection law would protect Denny from disclosing who says such a thing about me is an interesting wrinkle too.

    It's my opinion that Stevenson sneaks into every Blazer game.

    But for $50 I will ban that person for you. Much cheaper than hiring a lawyer.

    Then you can roll back the rock and rise from the dead. Try it, it's a hit at parties.
