Worst-commentator-ever. I haven't watched a Champions League game for years just to avoid him.
The amazing thing about that is that he's been living in the US for 46 yeas.
And, as they say, he's still worse than Riverdance.
You'd have thought that with all ESPN's money...

The other big news from sports broadcasting last week (even bigger than Veitch and the other 2) was that ESPN have lost rights to the Champions League...
...and therefore...Link well worth a read.

If a comment is potentially defamatory it shouldn't stay up unless the site owner's fairly confident they have a good defence
But given most sites / blogs / forums have a “Contact us” button, wouldn’t the complainants be better advised just to use that?
Can every blog / forum owner be expected to vet everything posted on their site? Seems to go against the whole point of it.
BTW, speaking more out of self-interest than on behalf of PA to be honest.

I was trying to be understated RB...
But you raise a good point. Obsessive behaviour from the owner of a site is quite different from a drive-by comment on a forum that can be removed / altered if anyone can be bothered complaining?

Cheers ScottY,
In the case the views were expressed by the owner of the site rather than just a random poster though? And the owner of the site clearly had a bee in his bonnet, so stuck to his guns
I just can’t see how a third party, posting something on a forum, could cause any long term damage.
Forums, like history, can be rewritten pretty quickly.

We also do not want this forum shut down by other zealous members of that profession
Serious (and possibly naive question) question:
Have there been any forums shut down by lawyers in NZ?
Would removing the offending post/s be the obvious compromise?

A great voice is a great voice, even if it's not my type of music
At last, someone says it.
I’ve found it impossible to warm to her purely because that ditty makes my toes curl

the all black coach who said he was a good bloke because he didn't bag anyone for the all blacks lose in the world cup in 2007,needs to hang his head in shame
I’m surprised more hasn’t been made of this.
First of all it showed that Veitch was never any great shakes as a journalist.
But what it also reinforces is the sheltered, protected world in which Henry (and Brand All Blacks?) reside.
And what did Henry think he was doing getting involved in the first place?

RB; you're going to have to tell us, otherwise we'll start guessing.
And you know where that will lead...

Tell us more Russell!
