yeah i was wondering that - must have been cut out cos their was a bit of "choofing" talk in there - lol - Fair enough i guess - i'm actually thinking of emailing Miller about it, because generally the club will be honest in things like that - but at the same time - i'm not sure if i can be bothered :rolleyes:

The thread had libel written all over it. No choice but to wipe it.

Just a quick clarification on that, CJ ... what if a "rumour" was actually true? Would it still be considered libellous?

I'm certainly not supporting the aforementioned Gilmour rumour or suggesting it to be authentic - I wouldn't have the foggiest on that one - but what protection would one have legally if one knew a "rumour" to be true, but was nonetheless pursued by the victim?

Just interested.

Due to my year 11 legal studies class I now know that the truth is a complete defence to libel or slander, so the victim could not win.

There was once a case here were somone came on and posted the most absurdly ridiculous rumour - a slanderous charge that was removed as soon as it was posted.

This absurd rumour went something like...

The captain and champion Centre Half Forward of the Kangaroos will announce his resignation from the club today because he has been caught screwing the wife of his best friend and Vice Captain Anthony Stevens in a toilet at a party at Glenn Archer's house!!! :eek:
