OKAY! Thank you for clarifying all that! SO what do you call it when the editors of the board allow postings that "say bad things" about people on the island (you'll have to scroll back through the past year yourself) and deleted whatever they don't like that doesn't "fit in", i.e.my apparent misuse of the word "murderer"? So KKB and the gang can let the guy from Valentine's, the Shogren man and his son, Elle McP.-etc. be lambasted for doing what I'm afraid they were ALLOWED (by someone in charge) to do on the island, (none of which I agree with, by the way) and I can't use the "M" word? I'm sure that the edited it out because I used it improperly! As far as the slander/libel thing goes, is this "print" or is this "verbal"? I don't think there's a word for it yet so I'll call it "slibel"! And what is the Bahamian law on censorship and what country's law govern's the board? It's been a long time since I took that COmmunications Law class, as you can probably tell.
