I wish I had followed up on this earlier. You never did explain the legal basis for your claim that Hubski has liability for the speech of a user. Under section 230 of the Communications Decency Act Hubski has no liability for comments made by the user. The legal remedy for getting a comment removed is by judicial action after a claim of libel has been successfully proven in a court of law.

Good luck getting a libel claim out of what Grendel said. His statement was offensive and false but I do think think a reasonable person could consider it anything other than reckless rhetoric only used to be provocative and inflammatory.

I wish you wouldn't try to make specious, threatening legal statements as a way of censoring content you don't like. It's thuggish and deceitful.
