Slander I believe inherently involves spoken word.  That is what seperates
it from libel which demands written statements.  Either way the 
statements must be proven to be lies.  It is not enough for the person 
accused to say they are false.  Once Russ or any person is accused of the
crime of slander or libel the burden of proof is on the accuser.  Russ
would only have to show that it was reasonable for him to think his 
statements were true, and I think that the wankers e-mails show this quite
clearly.
