Legal retaliation?
I figure it would be protected by the same thing that protects people who make comic strips from George Dubbya.

BTW, nice jab with the whole genes thing, Jon.
 


Well, http://www.expertlaw.com/library/personal_injury/defamation.html

Under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, as set forth by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1964 Case, New York Times v Sullivan, where a public figure attempts to bring an action for defamation, the public figure must prove an additional element: That the statement was made with "actual malice". In translation, that means that the person making the statement knew the statement to be false, or issued the statement with reckless disregard as to its truth. For example, Ariel Sharon sued Time Magazine over allegations of his conduct relating to the massacres at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps. Although the jury concluded that the Time story included false allegations, they found that Time had not acted with "actual malice" and did not award any damages.

A person can also become a "limited public figure" by engaging in actions which generate publicity within a narrow area of interest. For example, a woman named Terry Rakolta was offended by the Fox Television show, Married With Children, and wrote letters to the show's advertisers to try to get them to stop their support for the show. As a result of her actions, Ms. Rakolta became the target of jokes in a wide variety of settings. As these jokes remained within the confines of her public conduct, typically making fun of her as being prudish or censorious, they were protected by Ms. Rakolta's status as a "limited public figure".

Dunno if these are in improper context or not.

Done! But I do want to put his Avatar on the front, minus his kid. Bad enough the kid has to live with a douchebag as a dad, wouldn't want to rub in the fact that she/he has douchebag genes too.

Peter is no owner, he's just one of their lifeless drones. I don't dislike SPF at all, I just dislike the direction they started to go in when they decided to charge for everything and seperate all of the forums into ultra categorized sections. It literally went from fairly fun to crap in under a week.

Some new manager guy at Sitepoint decided he didn't like Chris, and what he was doing. At least that what I read somewhere, don't remember the source.
