Well, libel is the subject today, it seems. Go read Dr. Dawg for some real life insight into how the libel defense of Fair Comment works. Present with a 'without prejudice' letter from Kate at SDA, Dawg shows us how it's done.
Heck, this may even constitute Responsible Communication.
Pointing out a person's clearly published innuendo isn't libel. If Kate has an objection to Dawg's interpretation, then why has she tolerated without clear comment on her blog otherwise all the bloody comments celebrating the murders of journalists? Here's a tip, Kate: If your readers think you are saying it, then a judge is going to agree with Dawg too.
