Why for the love of God are people urging Peter to SUE anyone? He had posting privileges at a forum. He got into an arugment with people there. He was told to back off or he would lose his posting privileges. Yes PRIVILEGES. None of us have any "right" to post there. I have had my differences over the years with the Ed. Forum. I became very tired of the Colby's and other lone nuts who seemed to glory in running the McAdams scam. So I left.
What cause is being served in this forum by keeping up the Peter vs. Andy drama day after day? Those who are urging that Peter engage in some legal means are doing this chap no favors, imho.
Nor is this sort of thing beneficial to our forum. All this is occurring is allowing Peter to continue in some sort of victimhood when what he needs to be doing is getting on with his LIFE.
None of us KNOW what was said in private emails. I daresay we all have ones we might be embarrased to later see in print.
But I guess certain parties won't be truly happy until all the JFK assassination forums have collapsed under the strain of infighting.
However some of us are interested in the latest research. Breakthroughs in the cases. Jesse Ventura is on some television station or radio station every day talking about the book he has done with Dick Russell. People ARE becoming more educated.
Meanwhile this place is turning into a soap opera. And that is very sad.
The basic question for every justifiable cause of action is "what are your damages?" That is the bottom line. How can one articulate the harm- if any done? And sadly such harm is meansured in monetary terms. So it must be asked: Has Peter lost his job over this? (Just one example) . And has he done anything to mitigage any damages? I admit I know almost nothing of libel law beyond a class over twenty five years ago. But just basic legal principles tell me that Peter lacks a cause of action. And by assisting in dragging out this matter whatever libel he feels he has suffered he is aggrivating by daring yet more people to come forth with claims. Gossip does not equal a cause of action.
To what end, ultimately? People need to ask themselves: Are they really helping Peter or simply engaging in verbal bloodsport?
