| Message | We have no problem with the ability to recover for false information, but defamatory opinions are an area in which we believe freedom of speech prevails. If I wish to say that all red haired left handed people are ugly, that is my opinion and I have a right to say it, even though it makes me sound like an idiot. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
