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."

I didn't know you can't bitch about someone on your personal page/blog... I wonder what the sex of the judge is.

I think this has actually improved since its hey-day in the 80/90's, though I imagine there are still "a few" (lol) remaining neanderthal back-waters. Myself, I wouldn't marry one of these damn (American) women if you put a gun to my head. Modern rabid feminism is the greatest visitation by the Angel of Death AT LEAST since the Nazi holocaust, imo.

I feel that judge and any like him/her deserve to be impeached.

You have to remember that if you are a liberal everything to do with religion is horribly bad. I would say evil but that concept is semi religious.
They do not believe in freedom of speech. Or freedom of religion. Speech is for ideas you agree with and religious freedom is the freedom to never have to see it in your peripheral vision. GP thinks he believes in freedom of speech but when it comes down to it protecting religious speech is not nearly as important as allowing people to take shits on the sidewalk.
