I would agree with Mr. Williams on the condition that dueling were made legal. His argument makes sense, except it assumes that the offending party is engaged in civil behavior.
By the very nature of a knowingly false statement intended to injure another, IMHO civil conduct is violated.
The injured party must have some way to recover, and numerous examples can be pointed to where bad behavior left unchecked continues and even worsens (that's you, MSM and others).

If we could magically have a kind of dueling that also ensured the victory of the more truthful party.

To “sufficiently cunning lies make right” we would not want to add “might makes right.”
