Only thing worse than a crybaby adult is a crybaby adult who sics attack lawyers on a person that called the baby a name and hurt their widdle feewings. Maybe the thing to do is force people to formally acknowledge (insert legal crap here) when they register which would prevent them from suing anyone based upon what is posted.
To be clear, I had no particular person or even site in mind when I started this thread. I've seen it happen many times in many sites and off the top of my head, I can't remember one time when I thought it was appropriate.

We are in agreement. It is sickening what people say behind their screen names that they'd never say face to face. Such is the life of the internet. No one was more shocked than I was when I received legal notice of a suit. WOW! The lawsuit against me and the site I moderate was started by a lawyer that is specializing in internet law. Can you imagine? That's where we are headed!
I think we can all agree to disagree. I think we SHOULD have some scruples when it comes to posting remarks about kids. I think that these various sites can help all of us. As an example, I've made two posts in the drills portion of this site. I've coaced for A LONG TIME and so, wanted to give people something to think about where they could help their kids. No site has a place for internet cowards that attack but aren't man enough to step out into the open as to their identities. JMHO!
