This is shocking!.. all I can say is shocking. I suspected something like this all along but I can`t believe that we were right!

I don`t have a suitable email address. All I have are free ones. I went through a BBS to sign up for an account even but then I still couldn`t post for some reason. Not much goes on over there anyway. All I do is read it for AARs.

I`m sure I could get an account if I tried. Maybe I`ll go for this story.

I fell for it also, for a minute or 2. But I can't get on the IG Forums so I couldn't see if it was a hoax or not.

One guy admitted he fell for it. The rest shot it down mercilessly. Blah. Oh well.

The rest of them are rumbling about 'slander' and what not. Sue me for trying to make a joke. Argh. Decided I`d just better remove the url before anyone gets their panties in a wad.

So who threatened you about "slander"? (Of which you are quite innocent, slander only applies to *spoken* words)

Some killjoy on IGMoo. Who didn't recognize this as legitimate commentary.

Besides, it was funny. That's an entirely legal defense, isn't it? I'm sure, "Guys, it was just a joke." would get him off.

"Slander" is spoken, while "libel" is written.

"Satire and parody are valid forms of expression."
You are correct 13Matt13; if legal action WERE brought, this is a valid defense in court. If it weren't, there never would have been "Saturday Night Live from New York" since they are guilty of FAR more abusive satire and parodies.

Actually, some states have now combined libel & slander into the coverall tort of defamation.

One's real concern should not be winning, but rather the price of winning.

Not entirely. To win either case you have to prove at tleast two things:

1. That the statements were made falsely w/malicious intent
2. That your character has been defamed and/or your reputation harmed.

And true. Very, very true.
