yes i am from tsfx

we are scared...

Oh yes and @ Cava (I missed your comment) - my "allegations" are merely judgements based on my interaction with company materials (exams, notes, emails).

@Cambridge: Your points are correct. I am entitled to review TSFX's services; to criticise and not recommend their service. I have in no way made a claim that is concrete and defamatory. My points are opinions which I can in some way substantiate, I'm not here to write a research paper, but I can give a few quick supporting ideas if you like. (That is not if you like, if others like).

@googoo If you are, take your implicit threats elsewhere, okay? In my opinion TSFX sucks.

I'm no lawyer (and nobody else here is either) but saying they have no respect for students sure sounds defamatory to me. Not that I see much point in a lawsuit against a student.

Russ (I have a lot of respect for you BTW). I disagree mate. I said little "respect", it is a judgement. I could even say they have no respect. I could say they are stupid, I could say many things. As long as the arguments are not violent or threatening, I am fine. As long as I do not make up any phony stories, I am fine. For example, if I was to say: "TSFX stole $10 from me", and this was not true, it would be defamation.

Just look to politics and the way that politicians attack each other with words, it is fine. However making a false claim about a company or person is not fine.

I made no threats, i said tsfx should ......
if you couldn't distinguish a threat from not, then your judgment is ill-founded

Here is a fun TSFX student experience that you may not find on their website.

'I went to the TSFX head office to buy some further maths notes.  I was still charged the full price even though I did not not attend the lecture.  After receiving the materials from the receptionist, I opened the envelope only to discover that the notes for an entire module were missing.  After questioning her about this she said that they had run out.  She didn't even bother to think of telling me.'

Happened to my friend...

I never said you did, there was an implicit suggestion there though. Don't take what I said out of context, please!

@ stonecold - thanks for sharing.

I thought I might add this in:

Defamation is a statement or other published material that lowers the reputation of the plaintiff in the eyes of others in the community.

Defences to defamation:

Justification - The defence of justification is used when a statement is true or in public interest. The onus is on the person making the statement to justify it.

Fair comment - The defendant must show that the statement of opinion, honestly held, was made in public interest.

I do agree with Russ though, in any case, even if TSFX decided to sue - they wouldn't get much in return from a student - the costs of going to court and legal fees would more than what they would get in return. It's pointless from the view of TSFX, to sue.

Uh so...
I'm a noob Year 10...
...should I sign up for TSFX Unit 3 - get ahead - lecture for Psychology? $95?

I'm confused

[lexitu]

EPL.11.4ever. - Yes, but it's not that simple.

@iNerd: Do what you want, I think you shouldn't.

[googoo]

it is not about how much, it is about teaching some idiots a lesson

[stonecold]

[lexitu]

Well, in my opinion, you are not very good at teaching lessons.

[googoo]

[lexitu]

Yep.
