Skinhead in a Suit

I agree with you on the whole but there are other issues to consider when he's posting junk health 'science'.
If he posts some junk about the dangers of immunisation and another poster's child dies of measles who is responsible?
The parent, certainly - they shouldn't be so stupid. Gifter would be too. But to some extent I'd be responsible as publisher here - as would any mod who allowed that **** into the public domain.
I don't think that's why Milo has acted here, it sounds more like Gifter was posting the same nonsense he's posted in any number of other threads. In which case, there's no need for another thread on it, he can just bump some of his old trash.
I think this reasoning is quite disturbing in the fact that you are now curbing free speech on a subject which you disagree on. There is ridiculous trash published every day across all forms of media, including YouTube, Facebook etc. which nobody gets taken to court over. Gifter is perfectly allowed to air his POV just as I can post about how bad I think a popular movie might be. As a parent, I would like to think you would do a lot more research on the subject of immunisation than taking the word of an anonymous poster on a football forum before making such an important decision. As an analogy, could I take you to court for publishing a comment saying that Defoe is the greatest Spurs player ever, then raising my son to play like Defoe and being ****ed off when he doesn't make it as a pro? I have no objection with Milo's reasoning on why the post was deleted btw
This one's for you, Gifter...
