I'd say this thread is going to end in libel, but we're already there:
http://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/1048326.html?thread=767501830#cmt767501830

Of course if it was limited to just dead people, that is fine. Dead people cannot be libelled.

What the actual fuck? A secret went up yesterday about how Tom Baker propbaly raped children, but a thread about Woody Allen being an actual creep is too edgy?

Fuck you.

[(Anonymous)]

That thread was not about Woody Allen, it was inviting people to say names of celebs they suspected were an actual pedos. A number of other people were mentioned. It was libellous, flat out.

[(Anonymous)]

But does it being libel really matter here? I mean none of the celebrities are going to read it and I doubt it'll be circulated outside much of f!s.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, it kinda does. A complaint to DW could get the comm shut down, and that would not need to come from the celeb. You'd also be surprised as to who reads what. And FWIW, it is also morally wrong to accuse someone of being a pedo without proof.

[case]

There's kind of a difference between a person saying "I'm worried that someone might have been involved in this child abuse ring and I'm glad they haven't been connected to it" and "hey everyone! let's all get together and accuse random people we think are child molesters."

I really hope you can recognize that.

[(Anonymous)]

Only difference I can see is that the first one is worse. "I'm glad a child molester will get away with is" Is far worse than calling out suspected abusers.

Please delete this thread

[(Anonymous)]

The secret in question wasn't calling him a sex criminal, they were saying they were glad he wasn't a figure in any of the investigations. That is a big difference.

Are you just trolling now, maybe this thread should be deleted too.

[case]

That's not what the secret said. (ETA: what I meant by glad he wasn't connected to it wasn't "glad he got away with it" but more "glad there's no proof he was/glad nobody thinks he was".)

And come on, "calling out suspected abusers" is not what that thread was doing. You're trying to give it a level of importance or moral standard that it did not have. It was very petty "hey guys, any celebrity we want to call a child abuser on no basis whatsoever, let's list them!"

[(Anonymous)]

That's not what the secret said.
Seriously?
You're fucking delusional.

[(Anonymous)]

I disagree. I think that's exactly what the secret said. The text in the background was quotes from Tom Baker, including saying how he didn't check ages. The secret expressed relief that nobody had come forward to say anything to the contrary.

I feel the same as the OP. Baker was careless; he should have checked. Hopefully everyone was of age and no one had a bad time.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know how long that thread got because I walked away right after replying, but I am sorry. I thought it was a speculation thread and it didn't occur to me that it was about accusing people. I wasn't thinking. I'm truly sorry, again.

[(Anonymous)]

Uh wasn't that thread about Pwetree not Baker?

[(Anonymous)]

No, it was about TBaker: http://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/1047158.html?thread=766882678#cmt766882678
