Susan J,
You wrote,[...thes are not defamation...]
Well, they may not be actionable as defamation in a suit for such, let's say in the US.
But I was trying to tell of a different type of defamation than that. It is the drfamation of the soul.
Slavery, segregation, stigmatisation, descrimination, sexuall harrassment, ridicule, hate, innuendo, accomodating another's hatred toward another person, racism, etc. etc...
Whether xyz makes a statement that is considered by the law to be defamation is not my concern here. My concern is that this is a mental helth website and that the ones that I mentioned , {it is I}, not the Supreme court that considers it defamation.
You write that you are an attorny. You may be trained in the law. But are we to be discussants here based on the letter of the law or the spirit of the law?
