Fair Usage of TPF

Post by g-man »

now that we're fairly organized in groups when it comes to tasting,

Can I ask what are the terms of fair usage of TPF for use in events or promotion.

Ie. setting up a tasting with representation of a "TPF" group as oppose to "G-man's drinking fest"

Also realize if there are any liability repercussions if anyone might take offense to one of our "TPF" group outings?

My take on this: any event arranged on :tpf:, and also any event most of the participants of which are :tpf: contributors and that features port, may be described as a ThePortForum event.

Or perhaps any event featuring port where there is a quorum (ie. more than 1) of participants who are regular contributors to TPF? Me drinking Port on my own would not be a TPF event; me drinking port with G-Man and 10 others would be a TPF event if we wished to describe it as such in the hope of attracting new members to TPF.

I don’t think that it is possible to rescind a statement to the House. One can make a new statement, apologising for previous errors (whether poor public policy, financial indiscretion or a more salubrious ‘misjudgement’), but I don’t think that such can be rescinded.

Very true. I therefore deny that I said it.

I deny that the recision was ever made, or necessary.

I think there is some confusion between recission and retraction. Recission is, in effect, the acceptance of a breach or misrepresentation which discharges or undermines a contract. As such, a recission is unconditional and final. A retraction is very much a subjective statement which could indeed be reversed.

Sad or what for a Sunday evening? Clearly, I have not drunk enough.
It may be drivel, but it's not meaningless.

Is it possible to retract a recission?

If so, and even if not, I hereby retract my previous recission (and subsequent denials) and plead the 5th Amendment.

2nd Amendment: protects the right to bear arms
3rd Amendment: prevents the peacetime quartering of soldiers in private homes
4th Amendment: protects against unreasonable search and seizure
5th Amendment: protects against double jeopardy; provides for due process; prohibits being compelled to serve as a witness against one's self
6th Amendment: provides for a speedy trial; provides that the accused may confront their accusers; guarantees counsel
7th Amendment: provides for the right to a jury trial in some civil cases
8th Amendment: prohibits cruel and unusual punishment
9th Amendment: provides that the rights described in the Constitution are not all-inclusive
10th Amendment: provides that powers not specifically granted to the Federal government nor specifically denied to the State governments belong, by default, to the State governments or to the people
