be careful what you post!

[Under the Sticks]

Just do what the main stream media do and add one of a few words into what you write.
Alleged or appears.

Makes up most of Weirdlers column content those two words

Are you from New Zealand bro?

Nah she's mint bro

No idea where the Croker hate comes from. I think he's a fine footy player, but yeah. Australian junior. Playing out of position often. Playing with new play-makers week in week out.

Okay, he's not Jonathan Thurston, but jeez guys.

None of that explains why he drops the ball 3-5 times a game.

 

[Peter C]

I’m sure he’s a great fella but I just think he sucks as a first grader , if that’s defamation well bugger me!!

Saying that you think he sucks as a first grader is not defamatory , it just means you're a good judge of footy talent

Ryan, buddy , mate , he’s not a first grader and you have to know it.

Go back and replay some games from this year and have another look.

So don't post stuff that may be defamatory. (Obviously!)

By the way, even if not potentially defamatory, try to keep it real, ie accurate. Aside from the risk of being sued, a separate reason to be careful about what you post is the problematic misinformation aka fake news which has become (dare I say) pandemic.
Its not a new problem, even way back when I was a kid my mum taught me 'don't believe something just because its in the papers'. But the advent of social media, and the sophistication of how data is used to manipulate, has really taken propaganda to a whole new level.
I recently came across a couple of shows on Netflix (the Social Dilemma, and the Hack), I'm finding this quite scary stuff!

The social dilemma was a huge wake up call.

 

[wombatgc]

That's providing the social media hack has any assets.
Getting a verdict in your favour is only half the battle, they now have to instigate proceedings to get paid the amount awarded, which again involves lawyers and more costs again.

Or, Montanans father gets to flog this bloke mercilessly. I’d pay to watch that.

 

[globaleagle]

Can't you post anything as long as you say "allegedly" the news seems to use this one a lot!!!

Allegedly.

Another cautionary tale (which I don't believe for a second). But maybe we should change the title of this thread to "Be careful where you put your penis".

His biggest problem is that he tries too hard to make a difference in a game.

Just keep it simple son.

“I was broke and doing some modeling”.

We’ve all been there.

Yep, followed by perhaps my favourite rugby league statement since "I told the cops you did it. How do you feel about that?" I give you, the immortal:

"Unknown to me but it turned out they put a bloke on the other side of the wall."

Part of me is impressed that this hasn't turned into an "ORIGIN STAR IN GAY PORN SCANDAL" headline. But another part of me wants Capewell to get together with Jaryd Hayne - who, by his own admission, needs to work on his oral technique - to star in "Hung Jury". Filmed in Queensland, of course.

Some online gold right there.

It’s very Joanna Lumley:

I was broke and doing some modeling. I arrived in swinging London with nothing but a smile and a pair of heels. Next thing I’m partying with the stones and living the high life.

or no offence

Yeah, those people are classics "No offence but...<insert straight out insult here that would normally result in a fat lip>"

Like those people who loudly & proudly proclaim " I have no filter!" a.k.a. "I'm a rude bastid who just uses that as an excuse to not have to stop & think before I open my mouth"
