Thanks for the reply Larks, that gives a helpful perspective for why people might have downvoted.
The link that was previously provided was about copying message board posts to another message board, as part of a “roundup” of interesting posts, and whether an individual might be sued for that.
It’s quite a different context in my view from an organisation re-publishing an entire article that someone’s written, when they’ve expressly asked for it not to be.
I don’t think I could win damages from Nonlinear, nor would I seek to, but I do think I would have a very good case for compelling them to take down my posts (which thankfully they’ve done voluntarily).
