Mike Masnick. The Lindsay Sheppard Laurier inquisition was hardly critical speech. It was actually, and actionably, illegal, according to Tort Law. Free speech carries implied boundaries, one of which, here, is that you cannot use your freedom of speech to destroy my reputation. Let me put it this way, you can swing your baseball bat around as much as you please, just as long as you do not hit me in the head while doing so. If you cannot digest that, then I give up. JBP has said many times that if you neglect speaking up, you get what you deserve. It is that simple. I would do it too. And so would you, I wager, in the same or in an analogous situation.
