ORIGINAL: Lockit LOL.. how is what I said false light? I did not defame the man.. I checked his background out when he was acting unlawfully to see what I might be dealing with. It was a legal site, a governmental site that stated he was these things and I read it. Big f'in deal. lol Lets see... how is what you said "false light"? Hows this: You publicly said that he was accused of "....Stalking of numerous women, domestic abuse, alcohol problems, etc.. " That right there could cause harm to his mental/emotional well being, (due to you revealing that you found this info from said BG check) which is EXACTLY what "false light" breach of privacy protects. This is EXACTLY why I'm against some random fuckstick running a BG check on me. I don't have to worry about a prospective employer (be it gov't, law enforcement, or Wal-Mart) plastering whatever info that's found in my BG check on a public forum, unlike some people I know. Not only that, but the guy you're talking about, could find that your statements are "highly offensive" which, again, is something "false light" breach of privacy protects. So, to recap: I said he could possibly sue you for "false light" breach of privacy. You brought up defamation. The two are different. "False light" refers to harm done to a persons emotional/mental well being. "defamation" refers to harm done to a person reputation.
