I'm pretty sure it was a suggestion rather than a statement of fact

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Question: What is defamation?
Answer: Generally, defamation is a false and unprivileged statement of fact that is harmful to someone's reputation, and published "with fault," meaning as a result of negligence or malice. State laws often define defamation in specific ways. Libel is a written defamation; slander is a spoken defamation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------



For a defamation action to be successful, it must be established that the communication:
  • was published to a third person, i.e. to at least one person other than the plaintiff (person/entity defamed). - Yes
  • identifies the plaintiff, for example, by name or by a reference to a small group of people, etc. - No, no one knows who you are
  • contains a defamatory statement or imputation (whether intentionally published or not). - No
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Defamation.

I think it would be pretty hard to call defamation

I have been advised otherwise.

no one knows who you are redback - impossible to lessen your image / reputation by 'suggestive' comment

therefore no grounds for defamation

one would have more luck pushing a marshmellow up a tigers ass

I happen to know a few tigers, and some of them have very powerful legal representation.

I suggest you be very careful with your implied tone there.

And being such a broad church here in LU land I am pretty sure some here have friends that are marshmellows.

So watch it bud.

do they have gradings on infractions with carryover points.

Can we organise an infraction review committee.

If it is a paying job I would like to put my hand up as a candidate.
