"offended", Roland ???

well, I don't think that Mr Aharonian "offended" you in any way.
Forget about sueing him. It's a really stupid idea.

Everybody has the RIGHT to express the opinions. Greg, Hartmut, 
me, you and everybody else has the right to "question" 
somebody's abilities, or the _ideas_ they hold.

It is neither libel, nor slander (I oppose lawsuits in both, as I'm a 
libertarian and pro-free speech activist) to say that somebody "has 
poor ideas" and so on. It is only the libel to claim falsely about 
_THE PERSON_ not criticize his/her activity.

it is slander to offend a PERSON, not eir work.
For example, if I said that a song by a group X is "a piece of crap" 
they may do NOTHING to me. It's my right to hold such opinion 
and express it. even if they could sue me for calling THEM "a piece 
of crap", they may not sue me for calling their work in such terms.

Moreover, America has virtually NO libel and slander laws. Only 
'sexual harassment at work' but it doesn't apply here :))
There is First Amendment in US Constitution, which defends the 
freedom of speech.

I don't like Greg, Roland. But would you attack him for his so-called 
"slander" or "libel", YOU will become the ENEMY OF FREEDOM. 

You will be pointed out in each and every libertarian and anti-
censorship group. Moreover, your case can become another case 
against libel and slander laws. And, though I don't like Greg, I'm 
prepared to *DEFEND* his right to speak what he wants to.

So, if you're prepared to attack him, be prepared to be attacked by 
the *whole anti-censorship movement* and *whole libertarian 
movement*. 

ZERO TOLERANCE FOR CENSORSHIP !!!
(patent, anti-libel, anti-slander and other censorship)

Bad Luck !!
    In The Name of The Liberty !!
