In Canada, it's legal to give a reference for an ex-employee which
says "he showed up at work drunk and naked, so we fired him". In
other countries, it may not be legal to say that, even if it's true.
In the US, it's legal to say that. He might sue, of course; but if
it's true, he won't win.
There is a way around the legal issues. Have a "de-list me" page,
just like the CBL does. The key is that rather than pretending the
rentry under dispute doesn't exist, you mark it "de-listed at owners
request."
Recipients can then choose what to do.
Then someone listed and marked that way, who gets blocked, can still
sue over the original listing.
