Man Ordered To Apologize To Wife On Facebook
New submitter Marillion writes "Photographer Mark Byron was so bothered by his pending divorce and child visitation issues that he blasted his soon-to-be ex-wife on his personal Facebook page. That touched off a battle that resulted in a Hamilton County judge ordering Byron jailed for his Facebook rant — and to post on his page an apology to his wife and all of his Facebook friends, something free speech experts found troubling."
Don't they know men give up the first amendment right to free speech the second they get married, if not months or years ahead of time. Particularly when the mother-in-law is in town.
I was ordered to remove my outgoing message on my answering machine or risk "threatening civil negotiations... and be seen as adversarial...". I explained that it was in fact my phone line, my answering machine and people were calling me. If the ex didn't want to hear it, she in fact did not need to call. But, none-the-less, I had to take it down or all negotiations were off and she would be awarded everything by default.
The machine said that I was in a fugue since my ex had slept around with a number of people and was in fact a whore. Personally, I thought this was just stating fact.
Saw reference to Hamilton County, expected to read story about a clown operating as head of the court room.
I went to eat some animal crackers and the box said, "Do not eat if seal is broken." I opened the box and sure enough..
... or perhaps "I'm sorry she's a bitch"?
The real lesson is, never bang a waitress without a rubber.

That's like saying that someone planning to stick his dick in a light-socket should give equal weight to your enjoyable experience (with a socket that happened to be disconnected) even though everyone else who did it was badly injured or killed.
