No. For it to be slander Toilet and Bowels would have to know without a doubt that you don't like your students and lie about it.

I don't even have students. So his insinuation is completely baseless. Which makes it untrue (a lie) right there.

But he doesn't KNOW it's a lie. He has to know different than he's saying.

I'm not so sure about that. I think it can be any false statement (whether the speaker knows it or not) that's intended to damage another's reputation.
I have some law prof friends here on campus. I'll check with them.

He doesn't have to know it's false. It's the intent that's the issue; is he INTENDING harm by making the statement. And that's the difficult thing to prove.
Edit: posted the same time as you gmku. I've a friend who's a county court judge and he's bored me with the explanation a couple of times. |

Doesn't exactly seem like the most well-intentioned remark I've had anyone make about me.

Wouldn't it be libel anyway if it's written?

Maybe. Is online "chat room" stuff considered writing, though?

I don't know. I think libel refers to published writing anyway. I don't know what published means in terms of the law. I suppose we're talking on here?
Either way, I think you're on to a winner here. Sue in an American court naturally, they'll be a lot tougher on him. Then again, would you have to prove he wrote it... Oh, it's all so complicated. Just say something really nasty to him and call it quits. |

Hmm... How much is the SY site worth? Maybe that's the real culprit here.
Nah, I couldn't do that to SY...

Yeah, yr last recommendation is probably easier and a lot more fun. I'll save up for something really nasty (and any suggestions are most welcome--PM me, people).

How young is too young anyway? 17? 13? 7? What's the cut-off point?
