Actually, Ginger, much of what is on this site is offensive. As you said, "any reasonably intelligent, sane person who comes accross this battle" will find it so and not be able to sort out any important information. That is a shame.
Thin skinned is not the issue, Ginger. Legal rights and remedies are. I have not been fired from a job, and it is libel to state that I have.
If someone wants to ASK me if I have ever gotten high or had sex with animals, that is not libel. They can ask. If they state that I have, that is accusing me of a crime, and since it is false, it is also libel.
Would you like me to teach an online law school course on slander and libel?
