>According to Skarks Law Dictionary here is the definition of slander > > >slander A type of defamation. Slander is an untruthful oral (spoken) >statement about a person that harms the person's reputation or standing >in the community. Because slander is a tort (a civil wrong), the injured >person can bring a lawsuit against the person who made the false >statement. If the statement is made via broadcast media--for example, >over the radio or on TV--it is considered libel, rather than slander, >because the statement has the potential to reach a very wide audience. >See Topic: Criminal > > > >I have not even remotely came close to any of the above. I challenge anyone to >prove that 1. I made an untruthful statement >2. Had intent to harm that person's (who i don't even know) reputation Point 1, there is just as many people who could find fault with your statement then people that support you. Point 2, You did state that you knew the persons real name, even though you have never met him, most slander cases are caused when people write or say about people they never met. So point 2 has been proved You have used the internet which has a potential worldwide audience, Thus you have changed this from a possible slander case, to now a more serious possible criminal act, do you want to dig yourself in deeper, by proving what you are doing. I would not want you to look up the criminal section as it asked. You might be facing a possible death penalty, and we do not want that :-)
