Fanatic, im not trying to put you down or anything you say, but there are some things that need to be considered. A person can only be held accountable for being libelous if they make a direct claim stating a flase truth that maybe be damaging to a person. For instance if Mr. Swaeazy said "Dusty may was arrested for substance abuse and hes a total ..... " that could be considered libelous. However he simply stated that he had heard a rumor. Also the realm of libelous statements can only be held in places that would affect public opinion i.e. newspapers, radio stations, and so on. Why do you think that tabloids don't get sued for that crap they print? Becuase everyone knows they are not true. A public opionion forum would never hold up in court for a libel case. And as I said before he never directly state that he knows that this particular person did this and that. There is a thing called the 1st ammendment and it gives those the right to say their opinions within reason, in a court case one would have to prove that a person malicously tried to affect another persons creditability to cuase harm which obviously mr. sweazy did not he was simply saying something he had heard. If everyone could get suid for continuing a rumor that has been spread their wouldn't be very many people leaft in the streets cuase they would all be in jail. Oh I confirmed all of this from my lawyer brother-in-law just in case anyone was going to try and tell me I had no evidence to support what I said. So Aaron you are safe in what you said, continue your speculation but do not disregard the rules of the forum (i.e no personal attacks)
