Hi, Chris,
Just to explain copyright a bit, it is for the protection of ownership
of the expression of ideas by the original author. The "fair use"
doctrine (which, for instance, allows you to make ONE copy of a page of
a book in the library for educational use) would probably apply to
copyrighted posts which were used as evidence in an ethics complaint or
lawsuit. These are two different areas of law, and one doesn't preclude
the other.
That being said, the list rules of course can be enforced and those
persons using posts for their own private vendettas can be thrown off.
However, it seems cold comfort for the person against whom the posts
were used.
I still advise care when posting.
