The Dude 20,026 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I'm fully aware of what slander is. Thanks My OP obviously went over your head.Allow me to explain.To my knowledge, certain text messages sent by a certain bigot to a certain pregnant partner didn't actually refer to committing murder of rape. In my opinion though, it does no harm to rub that filthy bheasts reputation further into the mud where it belongs.Clear enough now?No, thats still not slander. You obviously aren't fully aware of what it is Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comment appears as text, not as a verbal statement. That makes it libel. Otherwise any journalist/writer eversued for libel would simpy use the get out 'I used voice recognition to dictate it'.Would you like more straws?

Connor-Lyon-Rfc 10 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I think he needs to learn what sectarian means though... 'If read by a republican'. That said, maybe some of the authorities need to learn that too.He admitted offensive behaviour, not sectarian. Hes fully aware what sectarian means.

The Dude 20,026 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 It may have been the dude that grassed on him.Afraid not. I tend not to get offended by words on the internet, regardless of idiotic they may be. Although if you think me correcting other peoples ignorance makes me a 'grass' then fire away.

That's why I asked you the question a couple of posted before yours.How do you know whether I spoke the words as I typed them or not?It's all very pedantic. You seem to be getting your panties in a twist over not a lot.Is your pain caused by my original statement? If so, I do apologize,It seems strange though that you would get upset over a derogatory post targeted in some way at the scum.Though after what Connor-Lyon-RFC just posted, maybe not.

16BlueSherbert90 19,223 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 This is good news, shouldn't be posting addresses right or wrong though.

Corky True Legend 2,682 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 The Dude. If you are going to correct people, give the correct correction. As we are in Scotland, the offence is defamation and applies to written and verbal. Slander and libel are English terminology. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
