My point is that as one gets older one understand that one of the few things that one has and cherishes is their personal reputation. If you have never had someone intentionally try to defame or slander you, you do not have any idea what that could cost you. Further if you ever had someone do that, I would seriously doubt you would take it lightly.

I believe Prager whom I hold in high regard, is elevating a value our society has significantly diminished over the last 25 years.

People are far more likely to believe a heinous lie than they are to investigate it for truthfulness. Once it is proved a lie, you can never fully recover who heard what about you and until the false knots connected to it.

Prager was making the point that this society does not think much of their own reputations ( look at what is posted on youtube) and if they disregard their own, they certainly will disregard others.

My point was that you is that you seem to diminish what it is like to have your reputation “raped”. Er go I thought you to be too young to have ever happened to you.

Is that enough detail?

Thank you Walkingfeather.

I see that you have been injured in this way.
And it is outrageous.

I’m not saying we musn’t join the battle. I’m suggesting that we need to be careful how we wage the battle.

I’m saying that another law will be another weapon in their hands.
