I was just wondering what happend to that post that discussed how a certain individual was alleged to have misrepresented a transaction involving a Monette trumpet. Was the post removed because the seller's name was revealed on this web site? Are we allowed as TH members to discuss when an individual has been dishonest?

In general, discussion of transactions with specific individuals is discouraged; a public discussion on TH is not the proper venue to resolve such issues.

Would you want your name publically rolled around in a heated debate where serious allegations were made against you? ... especially if they weren't true? .. leads to the legal issue of slander, and I'm sure the TH wants no legal part of liability in it. So, best to avoid it.

Two things: 1) It would be libel, since we're talking about a media that is more like print; 2) TH would probably be protected from liability under federal statute.

Still, defending lawsuits of this type would be costly, regardless of the outcome. So, your underlying premise is valid.

btw: Nobody asked for my input, either, but I couldn't resist. Get over it. It's a forum. Ponder the meaning of this word.

It is always funny to see how indignant people get when they are told by the owner, and his delegates, that something is not allowed.

Trumplyr is correct, we as guests need to abide by whatever the gracious owner of the website determines are the rules.

With all that goes on over the internet these days, you have lost your mind if you think slander applies to anything on here.Get out of your little bubble and figure out that it is impossible to bring slander garbage to anyone. Loser.
