| I was shocked at Iconic 944s response to my post. This is a an internet form primarily for the purpose of sharing information about our biking experiences/knowledge. As such if one of us has a bad experience and that experience becomes a trend (i.e a number of us are having a particular problem with any given dealer/trackday organizer) we should absolutely name and shame the organisation involved. Our Clubs primary responsibility is to protect its members not the reputaion of commercial trackday suppliers.
If there is any doubt about our ability to express this information I would be grateful if you (or the relevant member of MT) could post the legal advice we have been given about hosts responsibilities for internet forum content on the members section of the site.
If such advice is not available can I ask that you say so, such that we may continue to share our biking experiences freely and without the concern that we might be bringing our club into disrepute.
Put more plainly I think your legal advice is non existent or wrong. I am quite happy to be proved wrong and will apologise in advance if I am. But if I'm not I think we should not be subject to tacit censorship on this Board.
