Our response:
We deny all liability. The post they referred to was to inform our members about the facts of the case.
Without prejudice and without admitting liability, we have removed the quotes referred to in their letter.

http://www.sgforums.com/forums/8/topics/363664From my personal point, it does look like Harriet has a vendetta against SGF.
Jason, do not remove the quotes. In fact, you shouldn't. It is evident that they want to take legal action against SGF at any cost. Do not give in until court proceedings begin.

LONG LIVE Sgforums !!
DEATH TO ALL LAWYERS!

DEATH TO HARRIET !!!

Well, the facts are from straitstime and asiaone... Even in court ruling, even if there was a case won over asiaone and straitstime for deframation, it should not affect sgforum for requoting the incident.
Under http://statutes.agc.gov.sg/
DEFAMATION ACT
(CHAPTER 75)
Fair comment.
9. In an action for libel or slander in respect of words consisting partly of allegations of fact and partly of expression of opinion, a defence of fair comment shall not fail by reason only that the truth of every allegation of fact is not proved if the expression of opinion is fair comment having regard to such of the facts alleged or referred to in the words complained of as are proved. -
What they did is not very smart. In fact, I think it is rather stupid for them to sue SGF.
People never accuse other for no reasons. CLEARLY if iamwy7 accuse that Harriet is lousy or whatever sort, that guy must have his own reason, Harriet must have done something against his wish causing him hurt.
By sending a lawyer letter, in fact twice, it only make people in SGF think that harriet is making things hard for SGF. Lacking of consideration that this is a PUBLIC forum which their act is ONLY bringing down their reputation.
Also kindly be remindered that SGF do not store any particulars like NRIC number but maybe only external IP address. Even if SGF proceed in giving the IP address, ISPs provider will PROTECT it user. UNLESS request by court, only then will the true particulars be given. Lastly, there is this thing called proxy, this can hide the actual ip address.
So clear that the company is to say that 'HARRIET is correct! SGF is lousy in handling the matter with their member'. Passing this messages is all that Harriet desire.
Also after brook case, people had been more wary about the school they choose, so people will do a search about the school. The first thing google will appear is link the THIS post.
This will only give lower down the reputation.
Analyse solely by MAX. I do not remember analysing is against the law.

they enough or not...so noisy
-
Jason u should counter-sue for libel and defamation as well.
Seriously.
-
we will survive!
-
Seriously Harriet should know better than going against public opinion(in this case, us)...

Harriet can sue for all they want.
Their brand reputation and image for SGForumers is all down the drain now already.
I wish their marketing and PR dept well... I wouldn't want to be working in the PR dept of this company now~...

I meeting wif some fwends of moi(older) who are working in the Press...
Maybe I see during our conference whether I can broach this topic to explain more in detail and the angst of the forumites here to them.
To the idiot who made the quote "All publicity is good publicity", you're dead wrong. Apparently he/she hasn't seen what the people's press can do to an organisation(think the NKF saga)...

Forum is a place for people to talk.
And moderators are just enforcers of rules at the forum.
Harriet cannot win SGF because it would be unconstitutional to do so.
Please waste more paper on lawyer's letters, climate change will go on.

*yawn*
Good night all ^^ -

I'm sure the Harriet people are talking with their lawyers. If they really sue, then definitely their lawyers have some deg of confidence. Not u just talk, write three lines they will stop leh... =P
