What should have israel done instead?

[AlanQ]

No, that’s a defence in defamation cases (basically “but she really IS a complete slut”), and you would need to show that there was no reasonable way of linking the name to my real-life identity. Hint: This is not a good assumption to make.

Nope! You’re wrong.

Ok well it’s been a slice. Time to hit that dusty trail…

[Dawn_Falcon]

Oh shit guys. Dawn Falcon could have photocopied stuff for SlyFrog. We’d better back off of all this slander before they take us to court.

Ah yes, a moral panic.

Yes, and?

Ah yes, a moral panic. I am…unsurprised.

Giving a bad reference is ILLEGAL.

I doubt it. If you were given bad references, based on the evidence of your personality on these forums, it was probably for a damn good reason, i.e. you are a completely unreasonable asshole. Employers should indeed warn each other about bridge trolls like you.

Conjecture on my part of course, you unemployed buffoon.

[madkevin]

I think I’ve figured it out. Dawn Falcon is… Derek Smart.

How’s that for some defamation?

, it’s again in breach of the right against false attribution, of course.

Vivianne - It’s never STOPPED being about Israel.

<–confused.

Are you American, perchance?

DF has an awesome superpower where all threads eventually become about him. I’m very close to putting my first poster on ignore, since he shits up every single thread he posts in.

[Vivianne]

Are you American, perchance?

i am. but i didn’t ask you if you were israeli. i asked you if you were israel. yer sposed to know the difference.

[Dawn_Falcon]

Yes, yes, I have a point here.

I used sarcasm. It’s a British thing, don’t worry about my post.

Charmtrap - Great, go ahead and do it. The Hivemind cannot tolerate dissent, after all!

[Soapyfrog]

Ah, so, you want to argue not with me but with UK law. No, references must be true and accurate, and they were claiming things which were grossly untrue. Rather like your defamatory comments.

So bad references ARE legal then.

Your employer must have thought you were SO heinous, that it was worth the risk of a lawsuit to warn your potential future employer. In which case I salute him/her. He/she was doing a courageous thing.

In any case, we have only your (basically worthless) word that you are somehow a reasonable employee, flying in the face of the evidence you are demonstrating on this board that you are a raging, gaping asshole.

Yeah, this is why we can’t have nice things.

[Dawn_Falcon]

Defamation

Yes, and?

[Soapyfrog]

Defamation. And yes, of course, an employer who routinely didn’t pay staff and punished them for taking action to actually get paid is such an AMAZING company.

You are probably lying, as you constantly do.

Yes, and?

Seriously, make a morningbird defamation thread and get this shit out of here.
