Fla. Woman to Pay $11.3 Million for Online Defamation

[pam]

On a local forum I'm watching 2 nitwits fighting. One woman published the guy's address, then the moderator removed the address and replaced it with the woman's real name (post is still there). One person called a school teacher a communist and now all hell has broken loose.

The "if you edit it means you're liable" rule has been around forever. I'm trying to remember the case back in the 90's where this came to being but we were told the reason Usenet did not remove content (when CP was posted back then) was due to this ruling.
