Thanks very much for the heads-up fuente. Part of my learning process, but I do feel in such cases that it may be more fitting to expose and rebut, particularly after the insulting post may have been public for a few hours or more, thereby doing much embittered damage to the impugned victim, in this case Mr. Whelan, who now stands accused of embezzling BIEL of the expense of his personal vacations. Believe me, I am not on a crusade for anyone, but such libel is pretty serious.

If I made such comment about you at my club either by way of writing, libel, or verbally, slander, and you were also a member, I would be hauled before a discipline committee and thereafter suspended or expelled from the membership roster. I am worldly enough to know this is not a club, but fair is fair and libel and slander are not. So, I say, suspend the culprit, for a time, or expel him for conduct unbecoming. Freedom of speech is a major tenet of society, but one must not libel, slander or impugn another unfairly without the strong liklihood of recourse.

I would also leave the posts surrounding this issue up, so as to declare that the BIEL message board is a place of dignified exchange of ideas and thoughts and a place of reasonableness and fair play.
Thoughts?
