Once you put something on the INTERNET, it is no longer INSIDE YOUR HOME. So you lose privacy. And you can surely say it, but there may be a penalty for it.

[quote]Not bitter at all, Loretta. Funny, for someone "once bitten", you had no problem asking me for HELP with something when it suited your purposes right? Funny how that works :) [/quote]
I'm all about moving on and letting go. I let go of the tw@t comment when you became a nicer poster for a while. I even complemented you on the change in attitude many times, publicly. I left for a while, a couple months I believe, againg, letting it go that's when i asked you to review a letter for a friend for me. All was well. I came back when you started throwing my name around as some stupid annonymous poster.
No. My dislike for you? Is all you, not due to anyone else's feelings or opinions. As for you being bitter? I think yes. IMO.

Not a LEGAL penalty.

Well, if a family who's daughter, named Alexis ie "Lexie, was killed by a bell falling on her, got a legal order to have you change your screen name and post an apology, you would have no problem with it?

I disagree. If you don't like what he/she has to say, stay off their page, defriend them, block them, whatever. That is his page and he wasn't forcing anyone to read it. I personally think the judge is interfering with his freedom of speech. I have had a few "small" rants about my ex, but never named him AND, I blocked certain ppl (my kids for one) from seeing it. Of course, my ex is my friend on there and it was intended for him to see it ;)

That's all well and good BUT, it's already out there. It's already been READ. So your friend is friends with so and so and they tell them and then they tell someone else yadda yadda and so it goes.
And I REALLY don't get why people do the ranting at one's ex ON FB, with them as friends. Why do it PUBLICLY where all your friends (and him) can see it when you can pick up a phone, send an email, whatever... To do it the "FB where my ex can see it but I'm not saying it "to him".. tee hee hee" is about the most immature, idiotic and absolutely passive aggressive thing I've seen on fb. And it annoys the shyt out of me. Someone here did it once and I didn't realize WHO they were talking about and I replied to it, thinking it was just a general debate/discussion type post. Then I realized WHO it was, and that the ex could see it (since apparently friends of his were reaming out the original poster) and I think I actually deleted my comment. Very disappointed in the person. Just totally inmature and unnecessary.
I mean, really..

The consequences in this case were not only wrong, they were unconstitutional.
---> Why is an apology wrong? As for 'constitutionality'...see below.
Your "Facebook" page is akin to a private message board in your home. Only people who are INVITED to view your stuff, can view it.
---> NOT true.
---> First of all, once you 'share' something, once you 'like' something, once you join a group, once you play games...NOTHING you post is 'private'. If you check 'Privacy Settings - How you connect' it says: Who can see Wall posts by other on your profile? (NOTE: Stories about Likes, friendships and some other types of wall content aren't included in these settings.)
---> Second..."Facebook" (employees) has 100% access to EVERYTHING you post/upload.
As such, it is NOT open to liable or slander accusations, anymore than a NOTEPAD in your kitchen would be open to such scrutiny.
---> NOT totally true. There are two basic components to slander/libel: 1) a false and defamatory statement concerning another, and 2) the unprivileged publication of the statement to a third party (that is, somebody other than the person defamed by the statement). So yeah...if you write something libelous about someone on a piece of paper in your kitchen and NEVER show anyone (outside of the person you are telling lies about)...you're in the clear (unless you're threatening/blackmailing them when you show them). But if you have some friends over for the game and then tell them a lie about someone else...you have just opened yourself up to a lawsuit.
---> AND FYI - Byron's page is 'public'.
--------------------
If you air your dirty linen in public, expect people to comment on the skid marks!

So? It's no different if he was telling his "friends" about his psycho ex wife and what he says makes it back to her. Who cares? It's called freedom of speech.
As for me posting to my ex without calling him out by name? I tried sending him messages. He ignored them. I tried texting/calling. He ignored them. So, I went for the public calling out (something along the lines of "Hey, deadbeat, support your child!"). I mean really. Some are placing billboards with FACES and names of the deadbeats. Could care less what you think, honestly, and further...I agree with Loretta....YOU are the reason my opinion of you is what it is. And it's been the same since you first came here. BEFORE the other stuff.

YOU can call out your ex as a deadbeat, if he is a deadbeat. This guy "posted" that his ex was keeping the child away from him. Not true. He posted many things that were not true. Ask your pal, MrsB how this all works. You can not post things on the WEB that the poster KNOWS to be false, yet pretend they are true. Something as simple as what MrsB posted about her ex NEVER going to a Dr. appointment, taking his visitation, being in town for weeks without calling his kids or paying child support. That sort of posting comes back to bite you. Now, if it were all true, no problem. Her postings cost her 3 THOUSAND DOLLARS so far.

Justify it however u like, it's still wrong. And what's worse is YOUR children are old enough to see it/read it. It's just a low-class, low-rent thing to do.
Now I've done minor vents, actually about exSO. A gentleman friend of mine messaged me. Now this is a guy whose wife was an alky, drank herself into some medical deal where she was in hospice care for YEARS before she died (young). She kept custody for years but my friend ALWAYS did right by her, long after he remarried and his son was an adult. Anyway, he pointed out how bad it made ME look, to be posting such things. And as much as I tried to justify it, exactly like you are? He was 100% RIGHT. I've never again, not will I, post a vent like that. It makes the poster look bad. Now, he's nearly 60, been divorced, remarried etc. he's got a healthy happy raised son. I doubt he's spent a hot minute on a board bitching about his ex. He always said this place was unhealthy, and he's right.
