    1. It's not slander unless proven to be untrue.
    2. You can't claim to be slandered in a totally anonymous setting like this.

    Firstly, slander is verbal, libel is written.

    Secondly I'm afraid it can still be libellous even if true (ridiculous, but there we are!)

    Thirdly, your 2. is a good point that the "smartestmanalive" seemed totally oblivious of: we don't even know who is being talked about!

    Finally: sorry for the lousy formatting of this message - my fault
