Important Notice Were you libeled or harassed or annoyed? Click here. These local bulletin boards were set up so people could express their feelings about any issues they choose. We can find throughout the pages a spectrum of feelings toward many issues. Some agree, some disagree, some offer hope, some write of despair, some are funny, and some are filled with nonsense. Speaking your mind is a good thing, but like all good things it can sometimes land back in your lap with a heavy price. I urge everyone to be very careful of libelous statements. If you injure someone through words, it can legally come back and haunt you. Libel on the Internet can be traced back to the source. In order to do so the individual(s) who feel(s) libeled must go through a legal process that will request a court order. If the order is granted they are then permitted to seek the records of Web Site Servers and Internet Service Providers. Every action on the computer can be traced back to the source, but only if a Judge agrees that, in fact, someone has violated the law. As the Webmaster of this site I hope
writer's continue to find
comfort in expressing their views, but please remember to choose your words wisely so they
do not cause a libelous situation. Court is generally not a fun place to be.
And remember, even if it's not libel, if it's hurtful, it's still not right. The State of West Virginia has recently passed a law making the use of a computer over the Internet to harass a crime. Please read the text and understand it's implications before you consider using your computer and Internet connection to harass another.
