RE: Techie's List

I was thinking about qualifying my comment by saying that you need evidence to support it, but somehow I went on and thought something else before I said what I was thinking.
 
People do need to be careful with their comments, though.  I have mentioned that there are previous employers that I have taken to DLSE for failure to pay me on time.  I only provided the identity of one.  It is true that they did not pay me on time and that the DLSE ordered that they should pay penalties.  I cannot be sued for stating that truth.  If I in turn also said that this is how X company treated me and this is how they will treat you, then I can be sued because that is a false claim.  I think that ranking and personal opinion are subjective enough to escape a claim of libel.  It can also be true that I do not like X company and as long as I keep it personal and don't state false information, I should be safe.

Many people have gone broke proving their innocence.

Count me out.
