Oho... imagine that, forcing themselves to stay semi-legit by not using credit cards:)
That's like going to a Catholic priest convention and not being able to bring your favorite altar boy.
Much like Ohio. But that's a different story entirely:P
The point made earlier about the main difference between the 'net and print being one of inferred validation is quite on target. People read printed material and automatically assume it is factual, and accurate (the obvious backdoor to that statement would be publications such as Enquirer and Sun, which no sane person takes seriously). People look at personal comments on a web site and laugh their asses off. No one with even half a frontal lobe would take comments on a web site to be fact just because they're there.
That's just plain lunacy. Yes, he should be held accountable for his comments, but NOT in a court of law, federal, civil, or otherwise.
