Its nice that you're paying us a visit. But I thought you'd be over on the other place along with the rest of your #bekind friends defending you're mate Tubs to the hilt.

But it doesn't change his soul. :roll:

At least the two amigos showed their true colours today with their hogwash versions of reality.

Well NK is grand about it and that's all what's matters about it.

Could be dramatized in a movie like JFK

JFK - NK
Lee Harvey Oswald - Ryan Tubridy

They’ve been threatening boards with legal action….
To make it clear, I work for the law firm representing boards.ie. Late last night a colleague from another firm contacted me to inform me of action being initiated by third parties against this site and a user of this site for defamatory comments, both recent and historical. My account does not have administrative privileges so I cannot close threads or site ban. I have contacted the site administrators to have the necessary actions taken in anticipation of documents arriving in the morning.

I would urge users to be circumspect in what they post from now on until this thread is closed in the morning and the user banned. Unfortunately I must go to bed now as I am in court in the morning.

Thank you for your understanding.

Are boards a platform or a publisher?

I'm not sure if that sounds real. "I have to go to bed now because I'm in court in the morning" 🤔
If it is though it would be an interesting test case.

Reddit is very popular among the young and lots of stuff gets said there, much more unrestrained than general forums. Not to mention other wildly weird platforms like TikTok. Corporations and governments are just not going to be able to control what people say - though they are certainly starting to try - as everyone has a global publishing device in their hands now.
Thinking out loud, and trying to be occasionally less wrong...

The umpteenth troll under a bridge to receive the ban hammer, the NUIG scutter junkies and other NKM associates are getting increasingly desperate - coordinated attacks and identikit posting styles that an infant would find transparent. ButtersSuki who highlighted misdeeds behinds the scenes at RTÉ for several years has been subject to a venomous campaign of abuse by a half-dozen burner accounts, last refuge of the scoundrel stooping that low. Any person with more than two brain cells to rub together can identify the architects. An abominable state of affairs, would you belivia such a spicy development.

I've been dipping in and out of this thread and I agree its blatantly oblivious who has instigated these attacks. and it an utter disgrace. They have even been called out on the thread.

Will the Mods finally act. I won't hold my breath
