You are obviously a lonely and rather ill person.Defamation= Injuring someone's character or reputation by making falseand malicious statements about him to other people. The law recognizesa difference between defamation and mere criticism of an individual.Criticism deals only with matters that legitimately invite publicattention or call for public comment. In contrast, defamation usuallyinvolves a person's private life and domestic affairs. Calling a womana prostitute or a banker an embezzler, or an astrologer or consultanta fraud on a television, radio or usenet public forum are examples ofdefamation. The term defamation includes both libel and slander.Black's law dictionary-Defamation="The offense of injuring a person'scharacter, fame or reputation by false and malicious statements."The "offense" is in the publication of the matter, so you are not"covered" just because you read it somewhere else first. You are safeONLY if the statement is true. The best advice is to never sayanything nasty about anyone.
Still harboring the delusion that you're going to file a lawsuit, Eddy?
