It’s like trying to read Peggy Noonan. It is very hard to read, emotionless and flat, unless you move your lips a bit and pretend you are reading aloud.
Then the words jump off the page... echo around the room... dance directly through your eardrum...... and go straight into the deepest recesses of your consciousness.
PS. Suggest re-reading BearCubs #140.
It is the crux. PPS Jury Nullification?!?!?! I'm arguning the right to not be lied about... and punish those who do! Be Well!
BC:"My defense rests solely on the truth of what I said."
Wrong. To avoid charges of slander or libel, you do not have to prove that your statements are true. You don't even have to prove that you didn't know they were false. The prosecution/plaintiff must prove that you acted deliberately and maliciously. No intent, no harm, no case.
PPS Jury Nullification?!?!?!
Yes. In your summations on this thread, you have played to the emotions of our imaginary jury, and you have offered everything but a coherent legal argument. The only way you could possibly win that case is if the jury ignored the law and voted on feelings. In a phrase, jury nullification.
I'm arguning the right to not be lied about...
There is no such right.
I could say, MindBender26, your mother has a bald head and a purple mustache. I don't know whether it's true or not. I don't care and I don't have to care.
If my lies cause you harm, you can sue me. Show how my lies harmed you. Specifically.
Be Well!
You too.
