Minor point of nit-pick -- a published statement would be libelous, not slanderous.

However, it appears to be well past time to lock this thread.

That begs the question: is on-line "conversation" "published"?

My guess is that statements on a website at the very least falls into a grey area. :smile:

Back to add that I just looked up published: 2) To bring to the public attention; announce.

Back again! Libel is a written defamation. Generally, radio and television broadcasts that are defamatory are considered to be libel, rather than slander.

So, Donald is correct. (now lock the thread :smile: )
