What is online defamation?
Answer: I believe that libelous remarks about a person's character, namely malicious, unsubstantiated statements would fall under the heading of "online defamation." When I learned about this as a Journalism Major at Western Washington University, it fell under the heading of "libel," rather than "slander," (i.e., speaking maliciously about a person, as opposed to writing about a person in that manner). The Internet did not exist yet when I studied this, but I think the same laws would apply. One would have grounds for a lawsuit if remarks were made about them that were defaming to their character online. Celebrities would have to prove there was malice as well as defamation in order to win a lawsuit of this type as they are considered to be in the public eye (i.e., politicians, famous artists, etc.).

A school official made horrible derogatory degrading and sexual accusations remarks about my daughter and myself to her schoolmate and his mother at school. Can you file defamation of character?
I am not a lawyer, but defamation of character may be possible if the remarks made by the school official are false, damaging to your reputation, and communicated to a third party. You should consult with a qualified attorney who specializes in defamation cases to evaluate the specific circumstances and determine if you have grounds for a defamation claim. They can provide you with appropriate legal advice and guide you through the process.

Why do some people make disparaging remarks about others?
It's common, especially among people who have a poor self image. They say things like that so that they can feel good about themselves, the problem is, it just doesn't work. People who generally make disparaging remarks about others, usually have a low self-esteem and their only means of release from this image of themselves is to lower the self-esteem of others by opressing them with negative comments, thus up-lifting themsleves. Luckily, if you are the confident one out there, it just won't work.
