I WAS TOLD BY an IDIOT that the answers given here are just from some random know nothings (this is not MY statement but it is what someone else said to me, she supposedly talks to a Linden and told me that answers given here aren't to be trusted. I dont believe her, or this site wouldnt be part of Linden Labs)... is this true, or are these answers considered the official word of LL? OK my question was NOT meant the way it is being taken... I was NOT the one who said that people answering in here know nothing, I simply relayed what stupid people are telling me... and I do NOT believe them. I trust that the answers I get here are accurate, and well intended. Please dont jump down my throat for asking a question, and relaying what I was told by idiots who want to do whatever they please in SL. I simply wanted an answer I can relay back to THEM. Thanks for understanding

Is it possible for Linden Labs to prove that a conversation that someone has copied, and pasted without permission in order to cause harm to someone else has been doctored or manufactured?

I know that private IMs are protected from copying and pasting to others, but I was under the impression that local chat is also protected under the TOS. Is this true?
