Topic : 01/01 Revenge of the Exes

She obviously has issues in her past that she needs to deal with.  To have a site that allows women to slam men because they were harmed.  I was harmed in a couple of relationships but I learned how to love myself and to know how to look for a decent man. 

Just my thoughts. 

I'm not against a website that allows women (or men) to vent their frustrations.  HOWEVER, if this site is truly for women to discuss their feelings, then there is no need to allow women to name names nor post pictures on the website.  Everything should be done anonymously.  This way, it protects all parties and the intended purpose of the forum is not frustrated.  Also, Todd is absolutely correct when he says that postings like these can hurt his professional career.  I am currently in law school and the school has informed the students that potential employers are now using search engines to find information about potential employees.  We have been advised that information posted on websites like forums and MySpace can be found by these employers.  Therefore, if they see a posting like the ones posted on the debated website (sorry..I forgot the name of the site), these firms will turn the applicant away.

Furthermore, who knows if the information that these women post is accurate.  They can all be lies.  And when such lies are published on a site and are malicious (which is very likely b/c this site seems to be geared toward achieving revenge), then it becomes a case of defamation which is actionable in a court of law.

If the people who post messages on the website are not required to post their name or personal contact information. Then the LAW should make it illegal for people to post slanderous comments about someone. It is not only morally wrong, but the website destroys lives, rather than rebuild them. The owner of the website should be held responsible.

The reason the owner of the website should be responsible is becuase it is her actions that created the website and keeps it running. I feel sorry and compasionate for the people who are hurt and slandered by the website. There are more responsible ways to get back at an ex. The way to do that is to better your own life to the point the ex wishes he never left or hurt you.

Not by slandering someone to the point it may cause duress or even suicide.

I agree with Tasha on this issue.  She is not liable for what anyone else has posted about any of the men on her website.  While I do understand that these women who post on her website may be emotional at that point in time, there are some who are not and use the sight for the intended purposes: trying to inform other women about men who falsely present themselves to others and may cause emotional harm.

In addition, I believe that anyone who has experienced the types of actions these women post about the men on the website are compelled to act somewhat ethically in the things they report.  I have dated quite a bit and the one man I truly loved cheated on me with 25 other women, lied about, gave the women he slept with STDs and you think they won't post something negative about him?  For what they went through I would never care about how the men feel for WHAT THEY DID and COULD HAVE PREVENTED. These men presented on this website can avoid so by being truthful, faithful, and acting responsible with the women they meet and choose to date.  I am just glad I found happiness and never had to experience what so many other women have went through.

Tasha should be held somewhat responsible for what has happened.  She has the ability to edit the posts that are posted on her site.  The whole "woman scorn" thing is really old!  Woman are always saying things like treat women right for a change as if it's always the guys fault.  How about women learning how to take care of their man so another woman doesn't do it for you.  I'm not condoning the act of cheating but let's be real.  Todd made a great point.  In a profession where your reputation and credibility are key a derogatory message on the net can hurt what you spent years to build...Use your brains ladies!!!!  

As far as the law is concerned Tasha (the site owner) is in the wrong. Perhaps she should have learned more about privacy policies before imitating words her lawyer told her to memorize. In the case of personal information such as pictures, name and age is being published on the Internet, the author must receive consent from the subject being written about. All message boards, forums, and or forms where one can add information viewable by all, have, or should have, a moderator who moderates posts and ensures that no law is being broken. Tasha seems to be oblivious to the existence of these privacy laws, acts and policies which the Judge will surely suspect and quickly end this case in favour of Todd. Tasha if you're reading this, never argue with a lawyer about law, your business concepts and theories don't apply to the law. As for Todd, you're going to win this case simply because of the existence of privacy laws, however I congratulate you for standing up to slander and marking this widely known problem, which is the next wave of 21st century court cases. Asian governments such as South Korea have already regulated Internet usability.
