I don't understand which part was fearmongering?
The part where his posts directly implied that KMC could and probably would incur legal penalties for....well, he never really stated what it was. He just made the claim without providing justification. Others stated it much more reasonably, in accord with both reason and the evidence available to us (or lack thereof as the case may be).
Originally posted by DigiMark007Yeah, again, that part doesn't exist. He never implied it in any way...

This frames my opinion well:

The only thing that has ever POSSIBLY occurred for someone to say "Oh, they COULD be sued for that..." (pointless statement though that is, if it is not going to happen, and still just scaremongering anyway)
I understand that his post said "could" not "would, will, etc." But Adam hasn't clarified himself, hasn't provided means by which he believes it could happen, and hasn't responded to claims to the contrary except to say "Ha, I said could."
The word "could" is a wonderful escape route for him since, hell, I "could" be an alien, or we "could" {insert nearly anything}. But nothing in Adam's words leads me to believe he presented it as a rational appraisal of the situation. Rather, he threw it out as an unqualified opinion intended to scare. If you feel otherwise, that's fine. I won't argue further semantics with you, and you're certainly entitled to that opinion. But I think it's obvious that his intention wasn't to provide constructive commentary, and thus feel like the comments were both ignorant and irresponsible until he shows me otherwise.

Someone said it's impossible to get sued. He said it is legally possible. That's all. Might be wrong, might be right, doesn't matter, is not fearmongering.
