Be careful what you say on here…

ocrenter was threatened with a lawsuit for a post on his blog http://bubbletracking.blogspot.com/ In a recent post he looked at a place that was 500,000 off previous sale and still no takers. Property had an NOD, so it was all public information. Connecting address and tax records gave a name, which was then googled, turns out it was some executive of a software company. I guess where ocrenter went over the line was in his commentary, not the posting of plain facts. I’m not a lawyer, but I guess there is something about publicly flaming a non-public figure that is a no-no.

So be careful when posting info, I’d hatre to see this site get in similar trouble.

Well, I don’t want to go to jail either, but I would be very happy if:

(a) borrowers who can afford to pay off some negative equity that is subject to a recourse loan, but trying to avoid it, were exposed as the untrustworthy cheats of their creditors that they are, and

(b) lenders who are not even making a good-faith effort to recover on recourse loans, and who are planning to participate in a later bailout, were also exposed as the untrustworthy cheats of the taxpayers that they are.

It wouldn’t surprise me if, whatever legal grounds the executive is now claiming, the real reason he is trying to silence ocrenter is because his unnecessary failure to pay his debts has been exposed to all.

Not a lawyer either, but studied a little law in school. Pretty sure the only difference being a public figure or not makes in a libel case is that if you are a public official, you have to prove some factual statement was not only false, but that the publisher knew it was false and published it anyway.
Public figure or not, I don’t think you can win a libel case unless you prove a statement was false. Opinions cannot be proven false.
If anyone has extra info on this topic I’d love to hear it.

I guess the real lesson to be learned here is that folks that f* up their finances comes in all shapes, colors, and sizes. Good lord.
