Libel and Fraud

Postby You-Gi-Owe » Sun Aug 16, 2009 11:00 pm

This is just wrong. If Muravyets wants to write that she doesn't believe in the sincerity of a post, she's welcome to post that opinion. Striking a word inside my quote, editing my quote, inserting her own word, this is libel ("to misrepresent damagingly") and fraud.

A sincere "thank you" for being an unashamed capitalist sexist. :bow:

Fixed, because nobody is fooled about the intent of this thread.

Get over yourself. The original content is preserved and context is provided to indicate that they're not your words. As the edit involved is rather obvious and thus it is obvious that no one is pretending to be you, there is no fraud involved.

While there is an inherent accusation there ("you are sexist") that's hardly libel as an accusation is completely different from a statement of 'fact' to a third party. "You are sexist" is an accusation. Me saying to someone else "That guy is sexist" where you cannot argue the point can arguably be slanderous. Me saying to someone else "I think that guy is sexist" is not slanderous as it is clearly a statement of opinion or belief rather than objective fact.

Since you can clearly defend yourself against your accuser in this context, I recommend you do so rather than coming to us about it with rather overly dramatic language about libel and fraud, which trips my "pull the other one" alarm.
