@Popehat @MechofJustice So very pro-freedom of speech.

@Popehat@MechofJustice Might as well just stand on the corner with a "Behead those who disagree with TotalBiscuit" sign. -
@Popehat I kinda wanna see RICO charges filed, that would be hilarious. -
@rogerriga Defamation is not protected speech.@popehat -
@MechofJustice@Popehat 1) Defamation isn't criminal, so no jail time, 2) You can't (legally) defame a group of people. -
@khymchanur There are criminal defamation statutes in 16 states, and a universal generalization applies to each member thereof.@popehat -
.
@MechofJustice@khymchanur Go be wrong someplace else. http://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/who-can-sue-defamation … -
@popehat That covers civil statutes only.@khymchanur -
@MechofJustice Yea Mech, I wouldnt recommend getting into it w/@Popehat, that's where I go to get info about freedom of speech and the law -
@MechofJustice@Popehat I mean, they have the popehat signal for chrissake. -
@timriggs08 Appeal to authority.@popehat -
@Popehat Wait,@MechofJustice used the phrase "thereof". Your move, Popehat heretofore.@khymchanur -
@MechofJustice@Popehat they're lawyers...so they kind of do the law thing for a living, so yea, they are a VALID appeal to authority. -
@MechofJustice They are acknowledged authorities on the topic, yes. There are NO "criminal" defamation laws. Period.@timriggs08@Popehat -
@timriggs08 Appeal to authority is a logical fallacy in all cases. Only the argument itself matters, not who made it.@popehat -
@NotPeoriaMayor@MechofJustice@timriggs08 Actually there are criminal defamation laws. But they are extremely rarely used. -
@Popehat@MechofJustice@timriggs08 and fairly specific in where they apply. -
@notpeoriamayor "You are a member of a terrorist organization." most certainly applies.@popehat@timriggs08
