Secrets of the City

Apparently all those Father Christmas stories did nothing to engender a senseof charity in Christopher Tolkien’s heart.

So wait, you, Chuck, are held responsible for the comments that other people post on your blog?

According to the EFF legal guide, probably not:

What if I republish another person’s statement? (i.e. someone comments on your posts)

Generally, anyone who repeats someone else’s statements is just as responsible for their defamatory content as the original speaker  if they knew, or had reason to know, of the defamation. Recognizing the difficulty this would pose in the online world, Congress enacted Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which provides a strong protection against liability for Internet “intermediaries” who provide or republish speech by others.

(btw max – you were hilarious on Chasing Windmills yesterday.)

That’s it! I’m suing Matt because you said that!

Thanks by the way.

Now, on to the lawyers!

Oh, it’s on!

Personally, I liked the pizza episode more.

I’m so proud that lil’ ol’ MN is being read all over. Good job guys.

What am I, chopped liver?

Does Max seem a little schizophrenic today?

Thank God he didn’t call Tolkien a balrog, or there would really be trouble.

Does Max seem a little schizophrenic today?

You mean, more than usual?

I resent that remark, and so do I.

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who understand Binary Max and those who do not.

Isn’t he trinary at this point?

Martin,

Have you been keeping an eye on Sam’s food? I would suggest you use a magic marker to keep track of levels on the milk.

That guy accuses everybody of stealing his food.

I steal his vodka.

I knew it!

Hey, how’d that Keillor thing ever go? Did he drop it?

This is quite possibly the best thread title ever…
unless…

Tom I actually used to have that shirt when I was a dweeb in tech school.
