You're actually afraid to express yourself. If you're cool with that, then all the power to you.
Personally, I don't find Dion Phaneuf's butt-hurt as a good excuse for me to give up a right that is the foundation of liberty.

The situation is simply not as cut-and-dry as you're making it out to be here. I think a number of people - especially those who have been here a while - are familiar with a number of times when this board was sued by public figures due to things posted here. People's refusal to post things could have to do with a desire to not negatively impact CP, or, you know, an actual understanding of Canadian defamation law.
Oh, and there's also the issue that regardless of what we think about defamation law in this country, it is what it is at the moment. Angrily posting about our feelings on the matter here on CP isn't going to change anything.
