[Taxacom] legal threats

Welcome back, John. But please try to limit your essays to about one per fortnight. That way, they provide useful punctuation to debates that can become repetitious and tedious.

Subject: [Taxacom] legel threats

After some input from colleagues I have decided that I get used to the
idea that some people on TAXACOM are nasty enough to resort to, or
encourage, legal threats. I have been advised that some responses to my
postings were themselves defamatory, but I am not interested in looking
down that road even though I guess we just live in an increasingly
litigious world.



In future I will take care not to assume that off list postings
mistakenly omit response to the list (by failing to 'reply all') and I
will respond to negative off list responses on the list by omitting
identity of the individual (I presume that is legally allowed). Those of
you who have a high level of intolerance for the views I express on
subjects such as the orangutan theory or panbiogeography will have to
exercise that delete key again. Sorry.
