I, personally, believe in understand what I am voting on
I knew exactly what I was voting on. When skimmed, your article supported (until the phrase was bolded) softreferences. Those are bad. I completely understood what I was doing, and support it now as well. The fact that you altered your article after the fact is actually evidence to my claim.
I was not attempting to slander you, so I'm confused about the legal charges comment you made.
I wasn't talking about slander. I was talking about copyright. It's a copyright violation to take private mail and rebroadcast it without permission. I believe I was clear earlier when I said "(b) a copyright violation". What part of that did you miss?
