two wrongs make it right? What if Musk proved his sub worked? Then who has defamed who? Devils advocate.

An excellent point; however, Musk has already proved it does work. Just not if it would work in the cave.  That sms sent to him by the Brit diver telling him to proceed is gonna come back to haunt Unsworth methinks.  One could argue Unsworth sounds like he has a bias against Musk just because he is rich.  Lotsa losers feel the same way about successful people.  And most of em  live in Tland.

So, you would be perfectly happy if someone rich and famous declared to the whole world that you are a "pedo" just because you stated that the contraption you designed would not work, albeit with a sad choice of words, even though you physically had been where the contraption was supposed to go and that rich person or any of his staff had not, which would make you better qualified than the rich person and any of his so called experts?

There was a huge difference between the two statements and unless Mr. Musk has any foundation to back up his statement, which I seriously doubt, then he should be penalised, one way or another, these kind of statements can ruin somebody's life, Vern's statement would come nowhere near to ruining Musk's life, his huge ego yes, life nope!

The other difference is that NONE of the volunteer rescuers did any of what they did for publicity or profit, in fact most shunned publicity, Musk did what he did ONLY for the publicity and the potential profiteering later on, the man is a sorry human being IMHO.

 

Great words. Thnx !

Here is a clear example of clear bias against Musk.  You all may recall someone here on TV suggested a tube be constructed that was flexible. He was hammered here.  His idea may have just give Musk his idea of a sub.  I am amazed at the idiots here who "know" what was in Musk's mind.  Perhaps they could email me right before Musk's next discovery or successful project comes about so I could buy some stock in advance.  Musk should not have called the guy a Pedo. Big deal. I think you could make a case Unsworth damaged Musk a whole lot more for saying his idea was crap.  Musk is well known internationally.  This guy was a nobody.  Musk has been damaged a whole lot more. Just reading these idiotic posts tells you that a lot of folks think he did it solely for publicity.

Please try to understand and follow posts and discussions .

My point was that Musk HAS to refute/withdraw HIS allegations .

It doesnt matter what Mr Unsworth says , he can deny them , but until Musk withdraws/refutes the allegations he made, the allegation still stands .

   You join in discussions half way through and misunderstand the gist of what has previously been stated .

 

When somebody makes an allegation against you, YOU refute it

The person who makes the allegation withdraws it they do not refute it

Thats neither here nor there, the point is you totally misunderstood what was being sad in POST 51 and its there for all to see 

Have a nice day

The US is not a country ruled by law but by lawyers

This does highlight the outside world's view of Thailand by some. If he lives in Thailand he must be a paedo. Ask others overseas though of what they think of when Thailand is mentioned and they'd probably say ladyboys and prostitutes (and who could blame them) rather than paedos. Temples and beaches probably come way down the list, despite what the government would want us to think.

Thanks for answering my question. Can you point out specifically my "nonsense"? Not only that but I think you saying I have been posting "nonsense" is slanderous. Can anyone give me the names of some good attorneys in Bangkok?  I'm going to sue this schmuck.

Go with the US ones, they will sting him a lot harder, half a million US is the going rate for libel, and that's without a gobby unlikeable billionaire being involved.

It may not be that easy. To win a defamation suit, three points must be made; 1) the allegation had to have been made public, 2) the allegation must be false, and 3) the allegation must damage the victim's reputation.

 

I imagine there would be little argument that point 1 is met. However, how can Unsworth prove he is not a pedo; how can he prove the allegation damaged his reputation? I'd wager a rich man's lawyers could find a lot of argument therein.
