Wonder what Karen would have charged you for one of her 'customized'
diesel
outboards?

Hi,

Thought I'd contribute to the on-topic stuff here...

Last night, put down a cheque for $4500CDN as deposit on a Shiny New
Universal M25XPB and matching Campbell Sailor 14x10 prop (dealer
suggested
14x9,
but others varied from 14x10 to 14x12 to 15x11 - I'm guessing he
doesn't
want me
to load down the new engine).


Now, Don, would *you* buy an engine from a heroin addict?

Is that Slander or Libel? Forget which is the written version.

It is merely a question.

Yes it is a question. Which is it, Slander or Libel?

Neither, Bill, and the reasons why are too sophisticated and complicated
for a binary fellow like you to understand.

I guess you have to be a know it all like you.

I'm not a know-it-all, Bill. But I also am not boxed in by binary
thinking, as you and so many other conservatives seem to be. In my
younger days as a newspaper and wire service reporter, I was instructed
at length in the ins and outs of libel and slander.

The unnamed subject of your inquiry might be able to initiate a lawsuit
for libel. After all, in the United States, anyone may be sued for just
about anything. But the suit would get nowhere, it would be dismissed,
probably with prejudice, and, in the end, the subject could be
countersued for bringing forward a nuisance lawsuit. If that happened,
the subject likely would lose. But I suspect the subject is suit-proof,
as it were, because the subject is without assets. There's little sense
in pursuing a civil suit against an entity with no assets.

Actually she could sue as you accused her of being a heroin addict, in a
public forum, just to spite her. Seems as if there is a case, so no
nuisance ruling. Maybe you have no assets, so you don't get sued.
