Tumbleweed Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) The clever way to fight the defamation suit - and save face - would have been to post something like this: "I have been contacted by lawyers representing Kevin Evans concerning my comment posted on social media. Evans is, according to his representatives, of the opinion that my comment that stated he had had bad form in races since his partner tested positive for banned a banned substances inferred that he too was a doper. This was not my intention. I apologize to those to whom that impression was made." Repeat the libel while apologizing for it. Works a treat.

PhilipV Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 I see BS's wife also spewed some vitriol at iplayfairza on Twitter about Kevin's bust. It seems she believes KS's excuse and schemes that SAIDS is the devil reincarnated. fandacious, Andrew Steer, intern and 1 other 4

I know many of the players in this drama from both sides personally, and there have been many missteps. My take: Dopers are unprincipled. Call them out. But do so in a principled way. fandacious, raptor-22, Mousea and 2 others 5

BDF Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 I once had a boss who spoke before thinking the matter through. A colleague made this observation which I have never forgotten:  "He speaks faster than he remembers" In another job, someone (who is now also on this forum) coined a phrase just as apt: "Ready FIRE, aim!" The thing is, if we speak everything that just jumps in our heads we end up regretting it at some point. Things that are said, cannot be unsaid. the words are out there and they cannot be deleted just by wishing we had an "undo" button. THINK Tumbleweed, BarHugger, DJR and 6 others 9
