A while back I discussed a number of options with legal council regarding
Nabil. 

If we went after Nabil for libel, we would almost certainly win, but so
what, the TFN would be out legal costs, and as we gather Nabil has almost
no assets, well, we would collect almost nothing (ie: probably not even
enough to cover costs). 

Another option would be to get a restraining order, but I am told that
such orders are VERY hard to obtain. In the view of the lawyer I was
speaking to was the high amount of effort required to try and get a
restraining order is not worth it, given the low chance of actually
getting such an order. 

In other words going after Nabil at this point in time would be a waste of
TFN volenteer time, and TFN money. Still, in an odd sense I do hope Nabil
does go to the media with his brain dead stories (TV/radio stations, and
newspapers have assets :-) . Alternately they could do a story on the
shockingly bad state of mental health care in this Province, and how some
basket cases are using computers unattended :-) ). 

Put another way, unless Nabil does something TOTALLY COMPLETELY INSANE 
(as opposed to his current more than slightly nuts), it would appear 
that Nabil is safe from legal action. Still, the above notes should do 
nothing to stop all of us from telling Nabil how he keeps acting like 
a total mindless jerk (and other less than wonderful things).
