Theos-Talk Archives (February 1998 Message tt00257)

Bart, I don't believe that the scenario you describe here is possible.  Once
a statement is uploaded to the internet and goes to everyone's mailboxes, it
cannot be taken back: nor can anyone alter what was written.  Yes, one can
misquote an uploaded statement, but the error can be easily demonstrated.
In other words, unlike other forms of communication, this is a perfectly
level playing field.  No one can control the process.   On second thought,
perhaps this is why Wheaton is not willing to enter into a discussion.
