if you are going to make allegations you must be prepared to stand up and stand by those allegations. the fact the haulier and driver wasn’t mentioned by name a pretty accurate location was given and those involved got wind of it and made their feelings known to the site and threats were made. now these were rumours and nothing concrete was stated so therefore the thread was pulled.
now the internet has grown over the past 10 years + to be fair you cant go onto to any site and chuck a load of allegations and rumours out and expect not to be noticed especially on a specific site like this. if you look in the member lists and see how non posting members there is well you would have to agree nobody knows who these people are or what they do but they do have the right as members to go through all these forums and view what they want.
there has been cases on here where employers have been watching certain threads involving their employee making allegations and slagging the companies off and they have been hauled in for disaplinarys because of it, i also know members who have left the site due their employers knowing who they are here.
so if you are going to make allegations or chuck rumours about please make sure you have evidence that can be referred to if necessary and be prepared to stand up in court and give this evidence.
