I'd agree with the argument. And I think I'd go one step further. If I
maintain a site at www.isecretlyhatetodd.com and I never mention it here, I'm
not sure I should be held accountable ToS-wise if someone stumbles across it
and finds out that I'm secretly a MegaBloks plant who is trying to compile
evidence to help overthrow LUGNET and TLC.
BUT - if I make a post and include a link to www.isecretlyhatetodd.com and
even go so far as to invite people over, I should be held accountable ToS-wise
for whatever is there - because not only am I providing a link to the site (as
much as one can with text) I am inviting the community here to come over.
That's what was done in this post you mention. A link was provided, an
invitation was extended. Perhaps the content alone shouldn't be ToS-able
(perhaps, perhaps not) but I'd sure agree that it also doesn't fall into the
category of "oh, but that's on a personal site, not on LUGNET - can't consider
it at all" with respect to judging motives, actions, etc.
Actions speak louder than words. Actions carried out on a website to which
you invite someone that contradict words you post here can (and should, imo)
be used to balance words posted here.
There, that was relatively calm.
