- Oh you mean Social media. I know I have people whom have done the same to me. People will believe anything written down, especially stuff on those above sites. It would be nice if people would ask first before judging. But that is not how people are now, they are all brainwashed by the media and the stuff they see on these sites. I have probably done some my self unwittingly, because I let anger and hate rule my thoughts instead of Love. Plus if you are against something that is important people tend to get ass hurt by it soo they go into attack mode. Plus there are to many hackers out there. They teach that shit in colleges. Supposable ethical hacking. How can it ever be ethical in any case. They do not check peoples backgrounds to take those classes. So you know evil people are learning how to destroy lives. I think only government employees should have access to that stuff. Must pass a test like a Secret Service agent. It is tough to get that job, if one family member has a record you are out automatically. I am down off my soapbox now.1|00|0Is this still revelant?
Social media or IRL SHOULDN'T matter tho, this is the internet so it's okay attitude some people have smh I mean as bad as just insulting people just to insult is it's quite different to be calling people rapists, and child molesters whether it's said in person or over a computer

- Insults are just insults, meant to piss the other person off.. Slander is done with malicious intent to harm the other persons reputation. Libel is a dishonest statement meant to harm the other persons reputation and I believe Defamation of character is spoken. I could be wrong though.1|10|0Is this still revelant?
Crap its incomplete. Lible is a dishonest WRITTEN statement, Defamation is a dishonest SPOKEN statement.
Close enough, but Defamation can be written or spoken, libel is written, slander is spoken

- An insult is just anything communicated with the intent of being rude.
Slander is any UNTRUE VERBAL STATEMENT which causes damages.
Libel is any UNTRUE PUBLISHED STATEMENT which causes damages.1|00|0Is this still revelant?

115- Well the difference between libel and slander is that one is spoken and the other is in print. I'm not sure about the legal definition of defamation and I don't think "insult: has any legal connotations. OOps see you included the definitions above your post1|00|0
- Interesting 🤔 thanks for bringing that up! I think on this site, it's a very relevant thing to talk about1|00|0
Right! Calling someone stupid or ugly or snowflake, insult... Telling people they're pedophiles or they like raping women and children (yes saw a female user say that to a guy on here) is crossing that line... And for what, because you disagree... Insults bad enough, but there's certain lines you shouldn't cross, even if it's "just the internet"
- I know the difference between insult and slander. Though I'm pretty good at reading dictionaries so I can figure the other two out no problem!1|00|0
- I sort of knew, but I also knew there were important legal differences, the primary one being having to show you were damaged and defamed by a false statement.1|00|0
"Some states have laws that automatically make certain statements defamation. Any false statement that a person has committed a serious crime"
Not necessarily this could explain...
"If the person being defamed is a private citizen and not a celebrity or public figure, defamation can also be proven when the statement was made with negligence as to determining its truth (the person speaking should have known it was false or should have questioned it). This means it is easier to prove defamation when you are a private citizen. There is a higher standard required if you are a public figure"
- Yes, in terms of the legal meaning of those terms in Australia, where I worked as a journalist for most of the years between 1975 and 2012.1|00|0
- there's not always a clear distinction between those in the real world. a slander can be an insult an and an insult can also contain slander.0|00|0
Accusing people of being a rapist or a pedophile is crossing over the line of just insult and people should know that either you do it in person or writing... Disagreeing with someone is no reason to throw false accusations that are illegal crimes at someone.
doesn't need to be an illegal offense. just calling "bullshit" on someone can be an insult or a slander or both.
- I don’t.
Looks like some buzz words from a lawyer’s dictionary.1|00|0Insulting someone is one thing but accusing someone of being a rapist, pedophile, or child molester just because you disagree with their opinion is not only stupid AF, it crosses the line over from just an insult
@Brainsbeforebeauty... Those 3 types of slanderous accusations , do certainly cross the line. A thankfully inactive here , insanely man hating former user Astorania or something , ( typical of those types anyway ) accused me of being a pedo... my daughter happened to read the comment... and replied herself !! ... this Ass-toria or whatever , had the nerve to report my daughters & my own responses. All that hate burns up the hater , they fail to see that. Perfect feminist leadership material !!
@FatherJack some stupid female just did the same to me... People need to just quit it stupid, pretty insults while childish and unnecessary are one thing, but when you start accusing people of acts that are criminal unfounded just because they're disagreeing with you, that is unacceptable... People taking this "it's the internet, it's ok" attitude way too far

Would serve them right if they received bodily harm too... they would in the real world ! Most are cowards anyway & would not dare in real life.

You replied to my question and questions that don't even pertain to the question at hand
Again, the point of your questions 🤔🤔🤷🏼♀️ what does any of that have to do with this question... Here to refresh your memory:
Do You Know The Difference Between Insult, Defamation, Libel And Slander?
- I sure do1|00|0
- Yes.1|00|0
You're right of course, Brain, more should learn the difference.
They should also learn the difference between "assault" (a threat), and "battery" (carrying out the threat by actually touching or attacking someone). To complicate things, many municipalities have passed laws that allow the terms to be used interchangeably. but I digress - - - - - -
I DO question, however, line 5-6 of the pull quote from legalzoom.
Slander is a spoken statement but libel is typically referring to the published word, not as "either" as explained in line 5-6.
