Ok, so, I've been told multiple times that I missed the point.  From what I gather, originalkitten had problems with some comments on her images.  SHE did not name the commenter, that was done later by another poster.  Other than riling up folk in the forum, since warnings to the commenter were not wanted (or, by what we looked into, warranted) what was the actual purpose of bringing it up in the forum? 

Let's say we just took ok's word (we actually never do that, but, this is a for instance) and went and warned the guy that if he did it again, he was looking at a vacation from being able to comment.  Is that really fair?  No.  THIS is why we ask that, if you have a problem with another member or comments on your images or responses to your threads, you let us know, rather than starting a post in the forum.  Whether you like it or not, once a post like that is started, other people start taking up your crusade for you, whether you want them to or not.

Regarding the libel thing...SHOULD anyone have the grounds to file a libel complaint, do you really think they're going to file it against a "Dave-So from Renderosity"?  No.  They file it against Renderosity/Bondware.  THIS is why we worry about unfounded accusations.  Once you post it to the internet, it's considered published.  If it's not true, and it affects a person in a negative way, they have every right to file a libel complaint, whether the judge sits to hear it is another story.  It's enough of a black mark to have a libel complaint against a company.  This is why I'm all for sticking to the actual facts, folks.  You all have every right to be upset in originalkitten's defense.  However, no one has the right to accuse someone of something that they don't know is what's really going on.

I'm not saying you guys don't have the right to an opinon here, but you have to take the responsibility to make sure it's an opinion based on fact and not conjecture.
