I understand the defamation issue, but can anybody clarify the issues surrounding Godwin's question "was David Gerard punished fairly for a *substantive* violation of administrative standards"? To what degree of fairness is somebody legally entitled for administrative privileges on a private website? I would have thought not a lot, but I'm not really a very good law student.
You know... looking past the particular personalities involved - this
could be a step in... well, I won't say the
right direction, but if it leads to either
actual standards of fairness, or more likely at least an inability to silence other people's demands to be treated fairly, this could be something positive.
This is of course, if such a step is
actually taken, rather than expediently used to save David Gerard and then ignored in the future.
