How easily you defame the men that brought victory over the Germans.

False

I bet your point of view was on the minds of all the men that hit the beaches that day. "Let's get the Germans unless that will save Jews."

False

Either there are two standards on the RM Forum, or everyone can use the word "defame" and make up quotes to defame someone else.

The following were supposed to be the rules where there was one standard for all.

Forms of "making it personal" include mind reading, attributing motive, accusing another Freeper of telling a lie (because it attributes motive, the intent to deceive) - making the thread "about" individual Freeper(s), following a Freeper from thread to thread and badgering a Freeper over-and-again with the same question.

The words "prevarication" "dishonesty" "slander" "deceit" "calumny" and "subterfuge" are synonymous with "lie" because they entail intent.

Words such as "false" "error" "wrong" "inaccurate" "misstatement" do not attribute motive and are not "making it personal."

Other words push the envelope of motive but are not synonymous with "lie" for purposes of modding the RF. However, they can be "making it personal" if applied to another Freeper, personally, in such a way the discussion becomes "about" the individual Freeper instead of the issues. Those words include "misrepresentation" "detraction" "disinformation" "distortion" "hyperbole" and "doublespeak."

The Allies did not want to risk their own lives, to lay down their lives, to save Jewish victims and refugees.

So saying men who risked their lives to liberate Europe from the Nazis, wouldn't want to do so to save Jews isn't defamation of the character and courage of those men? How many live to counter your words? Does your statement impact their reputation in a negative way?

def·a·ma·tion

noun

the action of damaging the good reputation of someone; slander or libel.

Defamation of character is the legal term for harming someone's reputation by making false statements. To prove defamation, a plaintiff must show: The statement reflected negatively on the plaintiff's reputation.

As for the Forum Rules: you didn't defame me with your wild talk. The Religious Forum has different rules that if they bother you you should take up with someone in charge.

As for defaming the character and reputation of the men who battled to free Europe from Nazi oppression, the shoe fits you.
