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.

Remember who picked this dumbass argument (and now is too good for it when it turns out he is factually wrong!). Enjoy your football game, I hope you find it more fulfilling than fighting the dictionary.
