Go to Post Maybe FIRST could get a sponsorship from Ikea, and we all could get flat-packed field parts with pictoral assembly instructions. And then all the parts could have funny names. - sanddrag [more]

  1. Libel does not really cover defamatory opinions, just false statements. The 1st ammendment guarantees your right to state your opinions, just not to lie about someone else. (In fact, you have to intentionally lie to be guilty of libel, see the Wikipedia page)
  2. There are literally millions of blogs and personal websites full of personal opinions with no such disclaimers (try http://maddox.xmission.com)
  3. Your page is probably going to be way too low traffic for it to be worth anyone's time to bother with you.
If it ever does reach any appreciable size, and you are still worried, follow the trend of other large websites with disclaimers and put a small link at the bottom to a "legal" page.
1. So, basically, all I got to do is state factual opinions (or ways to justify my opinions)?

2. I'm aware of Maddox One of my favorite sites for this stuff.

3. I put a lot of thought into this one


I think what I'll do is just take it down from the front page, and put it into the legal page (just for the heck of it really).


Thanks for your response.
