Lori Drew's shyster listed his new draconian terms of service. Apparently it gets even worse- It was known the girl that killed herself was generally known to be depressed before the incident began. It would be one thing for another child to do this sort of thing but for an adult to do this is beyond reprehensible. Actually I wonder if some of the laws for fighting cyber predators/child pornography would have been more effective. I hope that the legal decision has opened the doors for the civil suit of vengeance to thoroughly punish this woman. -- John Duncan Yoyo -------------------------------o) ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
