I was clarifying my point, not moving goalposts. I can’t help if you assumed the goal was in a different place and argued based on that false assumption. That’s why I clarified my point since you seemed to have consistently missed it.
My point has not changed nor has the context in which I made it.
You cannot win a defamation case if they used truthful statements or statements they had reasonable belief of it being true. Sorry I used “can’t sue” as a layman way of saying “can’t win” because it’s obvious that anyone can physically sue for any reason and it’s equally obvious that anyone who is being sued must go through the court system no matter the suits legitimacy.
The fact that I had to spell all that out explicitly is wild. They should be taken as contextually assumed so we could discuss more interesting bits instead of “but what about obvious thing? And other obvious thing?”
