Fairleft is not banned, and is free to post comments at ET. For the time being, the ability to post diaries at ET has been restricted for fairleft after having posted a number of diaries containing slander.

Re: fairleft (none / 0)
Slander? Slander? I'm slandered all the time. Should I complain that the slanderers should be banned.

I've read most of Fairleft's stuff. and I don't find that there's any slander. Do you mean "criticism?"

Well, over on this side of the water, we have the first admendment and perhaps it gives us more leeway than you Euros have.

Still, if you can just point out the diary I missed that contains this slander, I'd be happy to comment.

Diaries containing slander are normally not kept in view of the public. On account of diaries containing slander potentially exposing ET to legal action.

I didn't see the offending diaries, but given the record of the site administration in (not) deleting diaries, I'll take their word that there was an excellent reason to remove them.

Any diary containing slander will not be left visible at ET.

I've answered your question concerning the "banning" of fairleft. Further comment on this issue will not be needed, nor much appreciated.

Re: No (none / 0)
An explanation about what was allegedly slandered would help your case. I have read FairLeft's work for a number of years and have never seen slander, as you call it, but only criticism, especially political criticism.

Can someone explain what the slander was about?
