Sorry Just have to clear something up.

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.
