From the ToS (discussion group section):

5. (do not) Post or transmit any unlawful, threatening, abusive, libelous, defamatory, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, profane, or indecent information of any kind, including without limitation any transmissions constituting or encouraging conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any local, state, national, or international law.

So yes, whether something is true or not does matter (“libelous” is one of the banned posting types) in evaluating whether it abides by clause 5.

Indeed. But one can be both truthful and abusive…. perhaps “tact” & good manners should be a posting requirement? ;)

More generally, people who are castigating Richard for breaking the TOS and/or being offensive should think carefully about their posting record.

I doubt this place would improve if Richard were to leave.
