All,
I am a bit puzzled over this law suite with regard to the basis on which such a charge of impropriety has been leveled.
It appears from the facts of the pleading that has been released to the public, there has been certain claims made by TIGHAR that are not factual in nature, purposely misleading and lacking in detail so as to lead one to believe that membership and donations to the organization is personally justifiable for future and further exploration of the facts surrounding a particular TIGHAR activity.
Why I am so puzzled, as noted above, is: When I became a member of TIGHAR I, and I assume so did the plaintiff in this case, signed the Member “Registration Agreement.” This document clearly states the following; “We ‘TIGHAR, subsidiaries, forums, etc.’ do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information presented.”
The above implies, you as a member, may reach your own conclusions regarding the information presented. What one does with the conclusions reached by such information is solely at the discretion of the member.
