    Defamation: the action of damaging the good reputation of someone.

    What's the term when the person being "defamed", due to their own actions, didn't start with a good reputation?

    I believe that would be a likely "nonsuit"

    I think that was actually a significant issue in the Jesse Ventura defamation lawsuit. He claimed he was defamed by a story about some fight in a bar that he claimed never happened... the other side said that there was no defamation because it wasn't the sort of story that would contradict the reputation Ventura already had.

    I'll be back when the moderation is reasonable. Enjoy the forum you created, Gree.

    Didn't work either. While Jesse is many things, these guys take their reputation as a SEAL very seriously. In some cases, like Jesse's, that's all they have.

    That was a heck of a tall tale to tell. Poor Jesse was raked over the coals for responding to it.

    Any information on the LTQ up now? I'm 8/15. Should I continue?

    Hard to say. There were other examples of fiction on the book, it would be really easy to fab this. It was clear he had post traumatic.

    I didn't read the book. I just know Ventura's rep. I bet it happened.

    Stop doing normal and do elite. You won't finish normal without gold and there are better items on elite mode

    No it didn't boss. No it didn't.

    Think what you want about Jesse, but no way Chris just kind of strolled over and punched him out. No...Freaking...Way.

    It is what it is.

    You're right... Ventura was probably shooting his mouth off first.
