Greg, I’m going to watch football now and try to end this debate which seems to have become your raison d’etre. Libel is written defamation. Slander is spoken defamation. This is true in the dictionary and in real life as I’ve handled both slander and libel cases. No need to go to the library and write a research paper on this. We’re not idiots and we don’t run down the list of dictionary definitions until we find one that supports our position in hindsight. We’re educated men. I simply said libel, not slander. I didn’t write a thesis or review all of your 7000 posts. If you want to use the uneducated, colloquial definition of a word I won’t stop you. I’m going to let you live. Now go watch football, this isn’t the Lincoln/Douglas debates.
