| LordTheNightKnight said: The thing is that if there is no legal claim, the church becomes the slanderers, which is much easier to prove in England. If there is no real grounds for the claim, even for good taste, it means that the church is trying to make Sony, or shooter games in general, look bad, and Sony could have a legitimate suit for that. |
Look, I live in a flat and am having some problems with the upstairs neighbors dragging their feet about some leakages they have. If I went up there and told them I'm considering legal action, however baseless, as a form of pressure, I'd be a slanderer?
Come on man, the Church didn't even say they were going to pursue legal action - they said they were considering it! All of the sudden that's slander? And Sony is taking the hole issue (not necessarily the legal one) seriously, and talking to them, not saying: "yeah, you do that, and you'll see! we've got the powa of legal bloggers on our side".
All I'm saying is I think people like you are reading too much into this, and over analyzing the hell out of it. And yet you keep going at it: now it's slander, what's tomorrow? Come on! Sony can defend themselves without your help and, as of yet, it's not slander to them. This isn't Jack Thompson vs. Rockstar.
