Ah yes, thank you, libel is the correct term. I'm also not the best on law terms, outside of the creative portions. (And even that I'm still learning). It's 4am where I am, or was when I posted that. But Tumblr did say that they weren't responsible for what their users posted and that they can't really say whether something is or is not libel or slander for that matter. Â I can see if I can dig up the email from them, but I may have thrown it away in frustration.
But as you said, Tumblr isn't known for mmm... Handling certain things appropriately. Ultimately I decided to leave it be, it's an unfortunate thing. But I really would like people to consider what they post, and that it might hurt someone. I'm not talking about like constructive criticism. I'm meaning insults and bs like this article I read about a mother and daughter collaborating on a piece and so many hateful comments toward the mother.
Yeah we can ignore it, I usually do but I do wonder if things have gotten to be... Too much in some ways.
Anyway I'm rambling and getting off topic so I do apologize. ^^; I'll leave things at this.
Lots of people/entities take whacky silly stances on matters like this because they figure "no on will ever bother." For the most part they are right, until someone does. Then sit back and watch the nutbar fun happen. It is a mistake not usually repeated. ;p
