Mr. Shotpak counsel:

First of all, for those of us that are new to this particular board, would you please identify yourself, your bar card number, where you are licensed to practice law and your contact information. I believe as a member of the bar, you are required to do so.

Secondly, may I suggest you review 47 U.S.C. sec. 230(c)(1) which states, "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider."

This provision has been uniformly interpreted by the Courts to provide complete protection against defamation or libel claims made against an ISP, message board or chat room where the statements are made by third parties.

Furthermore, under the aforementioned Code, I believe you will find that an ISP or message board host is NOT REQUIRED to remove objectionable messages in response to claims by others that the posts are defamatory or libelous.

Also, would you please be so kind as to include the entire content of the posts you take issue with, rather than taking things out of context.

Sir, with all due respect, surely you realize that you just invited a whole host of scrutiny. When you threaten an individuals RIGHT to Freedom of Speech, an absolute defense is the truth.

Regards,
Carla Hohenhouse
