| 102770 | 2002-12-05 02:33:00 | IDG is a big enough target to be sued . Statements made with no justification ("lies", "gossip") which damage a person or company are classed as defamation . Defamation can make lawyers rich and the publisher poor . Some people have been locked away in the US for making false statements on sharemarket forums to influence share prices . If your "right" to "free" speech is limited by not being allowed to make defamatory statements in a forum, you are "free" to pay for your own forum to be hosted . But you might find that those who are defamed have the right to extract damages from you . Free speech can be expensive . |

| 102771 | 2002-12-05 03:59:00 | >the question is, is NZ Media published information really information that is unbiased?? I would of thought its biased from the media'a point of view. Surely NZ Media is not a indpendent unbiased source of information. then what is the difference between info that goes on on forums and on NZ Media. The Herald published some facts about downsizing in jobs. That's all. No issue of bias comes into it. |

| 102773 | 2002-12-05 06:50:00 | Um, Goods and Services Tax, enacted in October 1985. (sorry, beancounter at large) Explain to me why they can charge GST on parking fines and speeding tickets. They aren't good and they aren't a service. Anyway, as for the post that started all this, a couple of redundancies do not end a companies life. My own company has made two people redundant, on separate occasions, the last one was four years ago. Company still going. If we hadn't, we might not be. robo. |

| 102774 | 2002-12-05 06:52:00 | I think we did the responsible thing. If we had edited it heavily it would have been pointless. As it was, most replies disagreed with the first posting, but it was felt that didn't mitigate the potential for unnecessary harm or risk. robo. |
