Sabina,
You wrote in your subject line the word "subjective" that what I was writing about defamation here.
Defamation is as old as recorded history and I am giving historical examples from ancient and current codes involving defamation. I do not consider the examples to be subjective for they are in other's codes and are not from my own definitions.
The Romans had a code involving defamation, then the ancient British, which most of our current definitions of defamation come from. The French have different definitions as do many other countries.
I am trying to convey this concept here as to how this site could be improved by having changes made in the administration of the site that are relevant to our particular mental health community.
I am not any type of language expert and contend that I do not have to be one to post here, and could, like anyone else here, write something that could be taken by another in some other way that I intended it to be. I am asking others to give me the benifit of the doubt by asking me to clarify what I wrote if you think it is in some way wrong. This is why I ask others for clarification, in order to give them the benifit of the doubt and also to identify any missing infomation that could give light to the subject so that a response could be given accordingly. I consider it cruel to deny a person due-process anyplace, including here. I am constantly criticised for asking others here for clarification of what they wrote and I can not at this moment understand why anyone would want me not to ask them for clarification of what they wrote for I am offering them due-process and an opportunity to change their wording and if you, as you appear to be a new person in this discussion, could offer me an explination for this criticism of me asking for clarification of what another poster wrote, that you may have, I would appreciate it.
Lou
