Defamation and Libel

When defamation and libel actions are wrong. A case example:

Jeff Carlson,

You have no justification on purposely defaming me. I've outlined how I accidentally came across that website via YouTube. It is common sense to arrange the YouTube listings from the earliest to the latest in order to see the most recent video addition. I check up on YouTube every 2 or 3 weeks and scan only the last two or three pages to see the recent deaf video additions. This is what I did. This is how you do your research. It'd be a waste of time to type in "deaf" and and try and find the most recent videos. I have not lied in what I wrote down in my blog on how I came across that YouTube video. I didn't really believe deaf porn existed. Yet it was you who tested "deaf porn" that day to do your own little research but failed to take into consideration the "date added" tab on YouTube to arrange videos by the earliest date. And finding that video opened my eyes that day which was only 5 days old and so I blogged about it. I didn't even know about Polecat Pictures until someone told me in the comment section. We learn something new everyday, even me. What you have done was out of line. You can criticize me but to make libelous and defamatory claims that you have no evidence of is nothing short of reckless. Porn is insidious as well as it can be degrading. I'm sure you saw how one person treated Mish as discussed in Gnarly Dorkette's blog who made a sexist remark at her? That's the thing, we don't need that sort of thing on the internet.

Now, I rather not be a moron nor am I a lying pervert. I made my case and I'm known for my honesty, sometimes harsh but forward, in my blogs. But since you (Jeff) said you'd rather be a moron than a lying pervert then fine.

Moron \Mo"ron\ (m[=o]"r[o^]n), n. [Gr. mw^ros foolish, stupid.]
1. (Pedagogy) A mentally retarded person whose intellectual
development proceeds normally up to about the eighth year
of age and is then arrested so that there is little or no
further development; an adult having the mental
development of an 8-to-12-year old. A moron is considered
capable of doing routine work under supervision.
[Webster 1913 Suppl. +PJC]

The issue here is really about how people ignore or do not understand the differences when it comes to making libel and defamatory remarks.
