Like I give a toss about your comments champ!
I actually agree with your sentiments you have posted on this topic. People must be pretty thin skinned to take it to this extent.
No doubt it creates some questions, it would be naive to think everyone has thick skin, personally i wouldnt worry, but its a clear warning dont get personal.

Also, you have to question whether to take people seriously who are serial abusers on these forums, many of them wouldnt say the same things in a face to face conversation .
Cyber defamers are starting to learn they cannot hide behind a keyboard or computer monitor when targeting people online.
Legal counsel Martin Bennett won a case for a Perth client who had his reputation attacked online by a Colac man late last year.
His client won $30,000 in damages and costs, as well as an apology and a guarantee no more defaming comments would be posted.
