I'd imagine the point was suing takes time and is after the fact and damages are done. Winning in court might net you cash (if it amounts to more than the legal costs), but won't necessarily clear your name, or even be equivalent to the damages. Think there is an old saying about 'a lie has walked many miles while the truth is still putting its boots on'.
Being silenced at a crucial point might not be recoverable from; setting up alternate websites would be near pointless if you're being specifically targeted and the blocking takes effect near instantly.
In this instance, believe AC is inferring that a presidential candidate lost his chance to being elected due to being slandered en masse. Any attempting to sue would just end up making matters worse for him, being seen as sour grapes.
All public rating does is promote popular (to that demographic) opinion of the moment. Well reasoned, researched and diplomatically written comments can be downgraded into oblivion if it doesn't meet that day's groupthink overmind of raters. By the emergence of calmer heads the next day, the comment has been downrated into oblivion. An identical comment posted hours later could in turn been uprated to the maximum.
As to preventing duplicates... Compare with say, some service (e.g. MMO) forums where you can see on the front page 15 separate threads on the exact same issue - angry people want to rant, not read other rants (until after their rant is posted). You need moderators to prune duplicates to prevent duplicates, which then opens you up to their either pruning dissenting views, or letting the comment hang in unapproved limbo (and unviewed).
But but..the Duke List was MEN. MEN are the oppressors and the privileged class, they can't be hurt by that list. Only womyns can be sexualised and objectified negatively and only womyns can understand the pain. STOP BEING A MISOGYNIST!
...yeah, I accidentally clicked a story link about this at the Jezebel site. Wow were the comments...scary. Especially after realising it wasn't a parody site.
Some people prefer the sound of 'frak' for certain contexts. I'll use every other profanity freely (and yes, around children 'cuz rather hypocritical elsewise), but frak just has a more aggressive sound than the 'uh' fuck has.
Leads to some fun dissonant sentences though: "I don't frakken care who she's fucking".
government's claim in the Raich case was that marijuana grown in CA was indistinguishable from that grown elsewhere, so interstate commerce came into play.
So were someone to come along and engineer Californian genetically modified pot...

Subtitles! Porn with subtitles on is the only way to watch. Not only will you know the plot, but you'll learn to recognise "high pitch moan", "soft moan" "moans increase in volume" etc. Just need them to start putting the subtitling at the top of the screen instead of the bottom.
Now if only they also had porn come in Described Video, preferably by Betty White
But we don't actually know for sure do we, the eventual outcome. Up until you encounter Caine, your perception is only one battlestar made it. Now you know two had. What prevents there being a third? Cylons were divided near the end. The Daniel line was boxed previously. Why was it boxed, was there a previous dissension, and if so what happened to them? For all that's know, between the First and Second Cylon war, was a Cylon Civil War, with the 'losers' being boxed, the event erased from the collective memory...but with a group of cylons that had snuck off on their own and are off the grid. The Admiralty had been testing the line, gunning for war or maybe something else. Maybe they had foreknowledge of the attacks (from the rebels? from intel agents?) and were trying to make (the tinfoilist) Pearl Harbour. It was larger than expected but contingencies still executed. In some (bunkers/nebula/station/fleet) is what they hope is humanities future, and maybe it's with allies.
But our camera is with Adama, so we'd have no idea of all this occurring in the backdrop...it could have happened, it could not have happened. By being careful to not directly contradict facts, but instead just 'facts', there should be plenty of room for prequels. You can't avoid the ending being darkish, but you could end up lightening the overall series (either by there being more survivors offworlds/onworlds, or at least in my case, vilifying the humans enough that you're rooting for the nukes).
tl;dr: BSG preq could have worked-but jihadist christians terrorising the infidel east was making me giggle
To play devil's advocate: prove that the contents of the container were as stated on the label, and hadn't been something else (say potassium hydroxide spiked). Remember, there were asshats there that were trying to be destructive and not 'peaceably protest'

I get it every time I sneeze.
So in allergy season? Plenty.
Nah, presumably one falls under 'public performance' and the other doesn't. If it does, that's a whole 'nother license you'll be needing ...

Mmm..my first thought was 'typical rigourous fact checking in the rush to get FirstPost'. Isn't like that hasn't happened before.
So you immigrated earlier. Don't recall anywhere (scientific) claiming humans originated in North America.
So it's pretty much the asian 9/11? They should instead lock their country down into 'patriotic laws' and invade Nepal?
Shit floats.

Great advances in the field of genocide have been made since then.
Nah, then they'll just start shortening yellow lights to make more people run reds.
I got completes for "Google is pat(thetic)", "Google is aw(ful)", "Google is us(eless)" and so forth. Might be other reasons 'sucks' didn't show.
Though, for that matter "Microsoft sucks" also didn't appear as was typing it...so who knows.
Just because something isn't a crime doesn't mean one won't get treated as a criminal.
Wonder if the furry fanciers would be so eager if they knew it came as a matching set...

"see (as mentioned in countless interviews) Meat Boy isn't made of animal meat, he's simply a boy without skin whos name is Meat Boy.. but sshh don't tell them that."
Hmmm.... remember those old television shows where the narrator was physically present in the shot, while the action froze?
Yeah, Betty White sitting on a chair right beside the action, narrating over a cup of tea...I could watch that.

He wanted heroes, not super villains.
