Strange, but a recent post of mine just happened to include a reference to the book that you used as source for most of your article. Coincidence? I wonder... Interesting Facts about Age of Consent Laws [link] https://www.boychat.org/messages/1630438.htm ... where I stated: "NOTE: Some of this may be useful for newgon.org wiki." The same book: Delinquent Daughters: Protecting and Policing Adolescent Female Sexuality in the United States, 1885-1920, by Mary E. Odem ... was cited by me. Professionalism requires that you credit those whose works you base yours upon. You ARE professional, aren't you? Libel laws vary from country to country, and from state to state in the U.S. You've heard of jurisdiction-shopping, haven't you? Also, whether the person is a "public figure" figures into the equation. Your article contains a number of scurrilous comments which could open you (and newgon.net) up to legal action by one or more of the figures that you mention. You wouldn't want someone to seek monetary damages for libelous statements, from you personally, or from newgon.net, would you? You may want to have a lawyer check your texts if you wish to carry hyperbole to its extreme limits as you appear to do in your article. RE: COMMA USAGE You may want to check on that, too. ;-) M. Ah, but you don't like me, do you? So though you may sometimes take lead from something I post, you won't give me credit, will you? Well, I hope that you don't just "disappear" one day, due to legal problems you have created for yourself. Oh, wait, maybe... Never mind. |
