Bored Kommissar Heard From - or, I get PMs

So yesterday I get a PM from Derek. He's concerned because a certain poaster has contacted him with respect to statements made on the bored about his military record, the intention of another poaster to do a little research, etc. etc. etc.
Derek requested that I not file my records request with the U.S. Marine Corps, and I agreed not to.
Draw your own conclusions.
There's a lesson to be learned here for certain poasters - don't put your personal shit out there unless you're not concerned about people finding out about you. Anything you say on a message bored is public, offered up freely, and is fair game. If you link photos or other nuggets from social media to the bored, you are also linking your profile and any other personal information related to that social media account.
Finally, don't make claims that you don't want investigated.
I'm not stopping because I'm scared of a pro se lawsuit (that would just be fun) - I'm stopping because I like this bored and I don't want Derek to pull an iDawg (RIP) because the denizens can't control themselves. So I'm controlling myself.
Hopefully a certain regular poaster on this bored will learn a lesson in self-restraint as well from this. If nothing else, he should be cognizant that there's a subsection of folks out there who know exactly who he is, and maybe that will temper his behavior.
Or not. People can be really, really stupid.

It's starting to turn into revenge of the nerds around here.
I know where you live.
Well you're an asshole.
Hey, I'm going to look at your Marine records and expose that you were in the closest before Clinton and Obama made it legal ... hardy har har.
Jesus ... Time to close the fucking gates.

For many months I have ignored the Libelous and Slanderous things said about me. No more.
One thing about being a retired attorney whose license is in suspension because I don't want to keep paying about a thousand dollars a year for "continuing education" and Bar dues, is I have plenty of time to devote to one pro se lawsuit.
I don't need to pay an attorney to represent me if I want to sue somebody, I can simply file it pro se. In this case it would be a John Doe(s) law suit against certain persons' screen name, and I would then amend the suit later with the your real name once I inspected Derek's records during discovery.
There's an old saying that the most dangerous attorney is the one with only one case and lots of time on his hands. I guess that would describe me.
Although I did not specialize in Libel Slander, I have represented three plaintiffs regarding Libel Slander. I won all three, and none were as clear cut as this. There is clearly malice and recklessness in this case. As such, the burden of proof shifts to the DEFENDANT, to prove you aren't libel for damages. By the way, this is BOTH a civil and a criminal statute and the King County Prosecuting Attorney's office owes me a favor.
I like it in here, but I will not be slandered and libeled. Nor will I stand silent as my facebook account is hacked. I am NOT anonymous in here. I have signed several of my posts in dm.com with my real name. Yesterday, I published my picture, (both of which are more than you have).
Knock it off now, or suffer the consequences.
I will not comment on this any further in threads and will instead discuss the matter with Derek.
That's all I gotta say about that.
It's getting to be like revenge of the nerds around here.
