    As you admitted, you really had no idea what you were talking about. What was wrong with my stating that fact?

    It was your tone. Very microaggresive

    Is this a safe place? If so, I am sorry.

    It's really suppose to be an oasis from the day to day hostility that we all have to deal with.

    I'm rooting for JPP. His medical records are private.

    His attorney is giving him a 4 finger discount

    If Shefter paraphraseď or reported the info without publishing the actual records I'd be more inclined to side with him. Putting the raw record out there seems over the line and unnecessary. No idea if the law makes that distinction or not.

    I think one fair punishment would be to publicize ALL of Schefter's medical records, including how many colonoscopies he's had, with photos.

    We had something similar to this a few years ago. A Toronto defenceman -- Mark Fraser -- was hit in the forehead by a shot and rushed to hospital. His CT scan leaked.

    Here's a photo and the story.

    Toronto hospital denies leaking mysterious Mark Fraser CT scan

    I know a couple people who work at the hospital. They said the fallout was brutal...total witch hunt. No one was specifically fired, but there were some transfers that seemed suspicious. No lawsuit as far as I know, though.

    What was the point of printing it? No one said hey wait maybe we're invading Fraser s privacy

    Something doesn't seem right about the case, but I just can't put a finger on it
