Closing down the "IN THE NEWS" threads?

Maybe not, but perhaps you should shut down any news posts.

And even if FT does not, perhaps you should think twice, or maybe even three times about posting any news events yourselves.

Why? Well, essentailly since I've been informed by Essexjay, in no uncertain terms, that "You are in serious voliaton of your TOS with Flyertalk by posting copyrighted material that you do not own." Cease and desist

In summary, she has in effect threatened to turn me in to the Associated Press.

Who am I to argue this? I don't even know if I need to retain legal counsel. Since I do not want to be doing any "time" I will simply refrain from posting.

Perhaps FT can simply eliminate all my "inviolate" posts.

If not, I can edit them out, if necessary, slowly but surely, one by one, as I've done with the offending one under which the threats to me were made.

I'd hate for FT to suffer from my misdeeds.

Again, I recommend that perhaps the "IN THE NEWS" aspects of the board be shut down.
