[Chihuahuas] legal definitions

[marsha]

Not that it matters, but the actual legal definition of Libel calls for a "reckless disregard for the truth".  It doesn't matter if the person knows for sure, just that the person was reckless (not careful) with what the truth is. It must be made for the purpose of defaming (harming the reputation) of someone, as opposed to simply making a mistake with no intention behind it.   Libel is the written word. Slander is the spoken word. Thus when it comes to yahoo groups, it would be Slander since it is written rather than spoken.   Now see there, I do know a little about the law after 3 years of law school, lol. Barron's law dictionary gives a LONG definition of this because it is often misunderstood.   Marsha     ----- Original Message ----- From: Jennifer & T'Pina Rasch To: Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 1:53 AM Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] New Member concerned part 2(Nonnie,Shame on you) Unfortantly, that is wrong. I looked it up a long time ago because I felt someone was slandering me. The defintion(sp) of slander/liable is a person that tells someone a lie about another person on purpouse knowing they are lying to cause harm to that person's reputation. At least one thing keeps what Nonnie has been saying from being slander/liable. That is knowledge. Since she doesn't know any of us, it can't be said that she knows she is lying.                                                                    Jennifer.         Nonnie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]net> wrote: I'm rolling on the floor laughing my ass off!  You are so funny!!!   HSN?   I never said how ruch....   Its only slander or Liable when it isn't true.  When you say something that IS the truth it IS the Truth...   Nonnie -----Original Mess age----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com [mailto:Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of roman_coin_collector Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2006 7:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com Subject: [Chihuahuas] New Member concerned part 2(Nonnie,Shame on you) Thanks to a member,this new member looked closer at the posts by Know it all Nonnie.I strived to give her the benefit of the doubt in my first post,but this latest line of drivvel is ludicrous.Tell me Oh so rich Nonnie,how many of our members houses have you gone to to formulate your opinion on BYB's?None,I'm not suprised,you are probably a HSN addict,whose only joy in life is in tormenting people who have friends.Why don't you take your riches you brag about and go rescue all the dogs you can find.Maybe you can purchase all the puppy mills in your state,and recondition the owners with your mind numbing whining.How about opening your own rescue shelter.Oh,and if you were a lawyer,which I doubt,you would know that your posts attacking members is close to slander,and Liable.I think the only lawyer you have in you is the one in your latest romance novel.Do us a favor,put your money where your mouth is,go rescue some animals,or find another board to post crap on.I have always tried to be fair,but Nonnie,you would try the patience of Job.In closing,I would propose that this groups owner,just pull the plug on Nonnie.That is your right.I wanted to join a group whose focus was the Chi.Nonnie,where the hell is your focus? __._,_.___ " Lets talk about our wonderful little friends!
