Today I have received legal complaints, and non-legal complaints about blog commenter. I am not going to single out the complainants but it is worth reminding and warning commenters.

The policy of this blog is broadly to comply with s5 Defamation Act 2013 as set out in the blog’s existing legal policy. This generally gives me complete immunity. That means if I receive a defamation complaint about your comment, I may not take it down right away, but I will forward you the complaint compliant with s5 and the regulations. If the email bounces, unless I feel both willing and able to defend the comment, I will remove it. If the email does not bounce, you are on your own. I will not disclose your data without a court order, but I will follow the procedure and again, if you give your name and address for service, great. Otherwise, unless I feel willing and able to defend your comment I will remove it.

Finally, a reminder that I can be ordered by a court to disclose data and unless the request is obviously ridiculous, may decide to consent to that order.
