Oh, I was going to run but I think I can explain this.

As I said, if people gossip and call someone a whore, they will not be offended if they are not one. For instance, my friends know I am a real honest guy. If someone spread rumors about my integrity, my friends would laugh it off and probably defend me quite a bit.

When the Prof did his branding of me during that semester, I was loathed to an extreme that was tantamount to many of them almost wanting me dead. They would call me a racist and a woman hater and would say I wanted to bring back slavery and enslave women. It got so bad this prof actually stepped in and told them that I didn't say any of those things and they shouldn't attack me so much.

Every day I was directly attacked and not in a debate type manner, but out of pure seething hatred.The funny part is I only mentioned how I liked small government and was a Conservative.

So yeah, I equate my situation with hers. As a matter of fact, I think it was much worse. Did she spend half the day with EVERYONE hissing at her and calling her whore? Did people threaten her for months on end with violence and express their desire to see her DIE? Did they call for her arrest and imprisonment for months on end? Did they scream at her and walk out of class when she didn't even SAY anything?

I'll stop giving examples as they are too numerous to list. The Commie Prof was actually a pretty good guy and gave me an A- on all of my political courses but the minus was given just because I was right-wing. I wrote the stuff they wanted for the most part but sometimes I couldn't help myself.

This girl would be insane if she had to deal with what I went through in Massachusetts. So what do I deserve, 1 million?

I have already said that the teachers are in the wrong. I just can't support a lawsuit against gossip. This can be handled on a lower level by the people involved, or do we have to go to the courts for EVERYTHING? That was a rhetorical question because it seems we do. Even on a Conservative website, almost everyone seems to feel she should sue.

I don't.

Arioch7 out!

Your equating your college experience with a High School kid.

And Slander is a civil offence.

If you think the law is BS and there should be no penalty, then say so, but if she's not a whore and the teacher is guilty, then good ole teach broke the law, and yes, this is the perfect case for a civil suit.

If this doesn't fit justification for a civil suit, then nothing does, and the arguement should be that the law needs to go.

Have fun then.

For the record, I had teachers gossip about me in high school, and thankfully, some other teachers set the record straight.

I found out after the fact, but the damage could have hurt my grades, it was also pretty stupid.

The gossip basically claimed that I was actually a criminal commiting some serious crimes. I would have had grounds for a lawsuit, but, chose not to.
