An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

I Googled you and what I found wasn't very nice.

I don't want to fight with you but you may have a lawsuit on your hands for slander and defamation if you don't stop what you are doing.  I was a victim of your list and what you said about me was untrue and I consider it slander.  I am not dead as you told the world I was.  I did not die of suicide.  We can keep going or you can let me express my opinion on your forum just as you have everyone else.

In law, defamation is a right of action for communicating statements that may harm an individual's reputation or character. The common law origins of defamation lie in the torts of slander (harmful statement in a transitory form, especially speech) and libel (harmful statement in a fixed medium, especially writing but also a picture, sign, or electronic broadcast), each of which gives a common law right of action.

For the rest of you, I read through the passages of this forum.  Some of you have written really great stuff and I wish I knew you still.  For those of you who really care and are thoughtful, I am sure you will do really well making a difference in whatever you do.

If a family member chooses to honor their "fallen" family member by posting their name on the internet for the world to know they have killed themselves or whatever than fine!  My point is that If someone shows up on that list as dead who is alive that creates a doubt in my mind about the integity of that list.  If one mistake was made, how many more are to follow?  If special care is not taken to verify the facts than in my opinion it is not a memorial, but a bunch of gossip.  I too have lost someone to drug addiction and suicide, but I would not find having their name on this list as an honor.  You are entitled to your opinion, I to mine.
