Is your statement one of fact, based on her conviction
in court of a charge of libel? Is your statement one
of opinion, based on your understanding of libel law?
If the latter, are you an attorney?
I ask because your charge sounds very serious to me,
and if unfounded might even subject YOU to such a
charge. This is a public forum, not a private
discussion amongst friends. Charging a teacher
in higher education of libel could affect that person's
career prospects negatively.
If you would care to explain more fully the basis
for your statement I'd appreciate it.
Best regards to all.
