Not really an economics topic, but the closest i could find.

Stemming from my argument about socially irresponsible doomerism-
if people read the doomers and make radical changes to their life
that cost them time, money and emotional damage, can this site
and presumably it's moderators be sued?

Worth thinking about a discliamer here.

I mean, financial sites have disclaimers. Aircraft homebuilder sites
have disclaimers.

But it's your house I suppose.

I know one or two folks who have already gone ahead and done that. Wish them all the best, shrug, who knows.

Me, methinks I'll be just attempting the Jay Hanson thing as he suggested. It's a little tricky going though, the first million, not to mention the first *billion* ...

I'd say the operative phrase here is "caveat emptor". One can "buy the idea", but as long as one didn't exactly *pay* anyone here real money for having the idea ...

As the owner of the domain name, I have been threated with lawsuits like a half-dozen times in just the last year.

Most often, people are TO'd by what this site publishes. Plus people want to steal the domain name. Plus posters sometimes re-publish articles that could be copywrite violations. Haven't gone to court yet.

The moderators shouldn’t need to worry about disclaimers because apparently they think civilisation is going to collapse. Why would you worry about getting sued when you think TEOTWAWKI is imminent?

If I had any faith left in my fellow man this topic would have hurt it a little.
