Dinah,
In your post there is the statement,,
{...I do not think that anyone is trying to defame Lou...].
Well, this depends on what is considered to be defamation toward some one and it depends on the jurisdictio that the statement is made and where the statement goes to. This is what I was attempting to show and had to stop. You see, defamation is not only some statement per se that is defaming. When black people were forced to sitt on the back of the bus, that was defamation to black people, even though noone said anything.
You see, some types of defamation are not written or spoken. Slavery is defamation. Segregation is defamation . Descrimimation is defamation to . Requiereng one to be stigmatized is defamation. Sexual harrassment is defamation. Cruel remarks about someone's disability is defamation to some. Innuendo is defamation.
There is a thread hear bring up a certian poster. That is defaming, for they have not identified the poster so that that poster could be confronted with their accuser.
