Subject: Slander??? Not when you speak the truth as one sees it!!

The contraversy over ICS Cheats was interesting. I don't see how speaking out
one's views and beliefs is slander. Besides "the truth" is subjective. Imagine
what would happen to newspaper editorials, movie and book reviews, ect, all
expressing their views, were subject to the same "slander" scrutiny some posters
had on a 750 player suspected of cheating on a meaningless ICS game! I think its
blown out of proportion, and the person on the "perceived" wrong end of the
cheating incident has EVERY RIGHT to express his opinion and belief on the
situation. Besides, slander has to involve malice and character assasination,
which I did not witness on the initial post. Have we become so sensitive??
Just my two cents!
