I assume this warning was created by a bot. Really, what kind of drugs would a person have to be taking to imagine that I, a random nobody, would take legal action on behalf of somebody I've never met?

I was just making an observation in response to other posters commenting that somebody is a "public figure". I correctly made the statement that while being a "public figure" has libel implications in US law, this is not the case in other jurisdictions. The comment is applicable to literally any BLP discussion where a person mentions that somebody is a public figure under US jurisprudence. If I merely make an accurate observation about how laws differ between jurisdictions, there are light-years of difference between that and "stop what you are doing or my army of lawyers will devastate you!". Why wouldn't common sense prevent you from such a silly reaction as talking to me as if I made a legal threat?

Is there a legal system anywhere on Earth that would allow me to take a lawsuit on somebody else's behalf? Even if there was, why would I do such a silly thing?
