hustler v. falwell. if a reasonable person would know it's not true but rather a parody then it's not a statement of fact and can't be libelous. those threads are the equivalent of people saying "i think Bob Dell is a dick boss," which is a healthy use of free expression, whether Dell likes it or not.

you bring up another good point. in addition to it not being actionable, he'd also look like an overbearing dick suing xo over the bob dell threads that we currently have.

If a statement cannot reasonably be interpreted by readers to be one of express or implied fact, it cannot be libelous. In Walko v. Kean College of New Jersey, 561 A.2d 680 (N.J. Super.L. 1988) a case involving an ad that associated a college assistant dean with a telephone sex service, the court stated that "A parody or spoof that no reasonable person would read as a factual statement, or as anything other than a joke - albeit a bad joke - cannot be actionable as a defamation."

this isn't china and you're not the head of the communist party. this is america, and in america we are free to criticize the heads of industry for their callous decisions. i suggest you find yourself a copy of the US constitution and read the first amendment.
if you despise the right of every american to speak freely to promote a better democracy, i suggest you move the rest of your operations to china.

Whatever buddy, any suit would survive a 12b6 and he has a lot more fire power than you. BTW, the average lawyer doesn't read ATL, and people are maliciously attacking his reputation. Blatently attacking the head partner at a V20 is insanely retarded.
