Try to publish one of those articles in NY times and see what happens. I guess
that those tabloids made the stories so ridiculous to fall in the category of
"jokes". Like comedians, they cannot be sue for making up stories because it is
obvious that they do it. Besides, that is US and this is an international forum.
US laws are generally more relaxed in this respect.

Coming back to the point, I did not say that it is slander "he can't program"
I say that Mr. Kaan does not have to defend himself. You say that saying that
someone can't write a program is not illegal, well, then you do not have
to defend himself
