How about releasing NATIONAL SECRETS! See FedEx egrid post.

Then it'd be a national security letter. In that case, APC couldn't even tell you whether they'd been asked for your info or not. The NSA would probably just hack the site and get what they need w/o a letter anyway... On the bright side: you look great in orange and Gitmo is nice this time of year.

I hear that every other week from the ACP :D

It is however possible that if you post something which is reasonably libelous someone might go to the trouble of suing. It's also remotely possible that an airline might sue even on marginal grounds strictly to justify a subpoena to identify someone (so they could discipline/fire him). A certain bottom-feeder regional is widely reputed to have done exactly the latter.

Say what you want to say, just be smart about the manner in which you say...if it's adverse info, don't state that it is fact unless you know and can prove it's fact. You should still be entitled to your personal opinion as long as it is clearly just your opinion.

Just give me two weeks notice by email I will gladly close my account.

Too late...once somebody gets a subpoena, they can't go deleting records.

Well, yeah they can - but there may be consequences. :eek:


I'm not a lawyer, but I've heard that pursuing libel or slander actions is a pretty low percentage deal. Note, though, that during a recent strike there were some fairly heated discussions on this board (and, to be fair, others). Indeed, even some of the taglines were fairly harsh. Had there been violence during this strike (to my knowledge there wasn't) the fuzz might well have gotten interested in some of the posters. Be careful what you write. In this day and age it never really goes away.

Very true. But if someone is really PO-ed there incentives other than a payoff...

- If the plaintiff is your employer, they can fire you as soon as the subpoena reveals your name. There are essentially no protections against this, unless the speech in question had to do with labor organization.

- If the plaintiff has deep pockets, and the defendant doesn't, they can punish you just by being persistent and racking up legal fees. They don't even have to win...as long as their case is not deemed frivolous by the court each part pays their own legal fees.
