I read it as if he was claiming CIA didnt have one.Anyhow, as a matter of interest what is the legal position and responsibility of h&v when posters break the law, eg racism, libel?My arse is on the line, probably.

Redress from the publication that published or allowed the quote. In the era of anonymous posting etc, the site is held accountable. In the same way that a newspaper would be held accountable for a story published on its pages.
The reality is Xia would never take H&V to court over one idiots ramblings. But that doesn't mean he shouldn't be called out for it. And frankly the style and content is almost unfathomable and given the amount of times people have commented on this I only assume deliberate. I wash over the posts as I'm sure the majority of people on here do. Shame there isn't a block feature.

Thee are examples out there where people have done exactly that:https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/law/football-club-solicitor-awarded-18000-over-struck-off-libel-/5061422.articleA solicitor at Blackpool suing because he was being incorrectly described as 'struck off' on a football forum isn't a million miles away from falsely stating that Dr Xia has made up credentials. And of course, Dr Tony is a lot, lot richer than anybody connected with Blackpool.
