In all fairness, I just re-read your original post and I can see that you weren’t actually implying what I thought you were implying.

Sorry for the snarkiness, FA’s just have a tough job these days. (And dammit, I hate mea culpa’s!)

Watch the imams’ civil suit. If it’s not dismissed, and actually gets to the stage of testimony coming out publicly, you’ll see what “public slander” really is.

You always defend this particular issue with some fervor, but in a way that leaves me wondering if you’ve seen all of the testimony that was made public.
