How's that for slander then...???


How's that for 'slander'? Very poor. It would actually be 'libel'. Slander is spoken or transitory. Once you commit it to paper, or a permanent (or semi-permanent) medium like the internet it is no longer 'transitory'. Because of its more permanent nature, libel is a more serious charge than slander.
