This is way off the subject, but a recent post about stolen merchandise
raises a number of issues that everyone should be thinking about.
The person who posted this message stated as an unqualified fact that a
named individual had committed a felony, even though the accused hasn't
been tried, much less convicted. I don't care how cynical you might be
about presumption of innocence or how righteous about freedom from
censorship on the Internet. As written, this post was definitely bone-
headed and possibly libelous. Subscribers to this list would be well
advised to speak and write carefully, if at all, about its contents, and
if you find yourself in a similar situation, think very hard about the
gravity of what you plan to say BEFORE publishing it to an audience of
thousands.
