  It isn’t even necessary a question of who’d win.

  You can tell the absolute truth and technically “win” all the defamation lawsuits you want, and still lose.

    There are anti-slapp laws to help with this, but they aren’t always used appropriately.

      and sometimes, they still are used appropriately, and still end up with a ruined life.

      if the other side has fuck-you money and you don’t have fuck-you money, guess what their strategy is going to be?
