Who is the big name pro caught cheating?

[thejameser]

for the record, i am not accusing anyone of anything; i am asking a question to which someone may know the answer. i respect both of those players and their abilities and i am puzzled as to, if it was true, why in the hell would they do that? anyway, the last time i checked "Gossip" was not necessarily as deeply rooted in the need for support from factual evidence as our founding father would dispute.

You know how rumors can circulate.

Yes, we do. This is how. Without a shred of evidence, you just smeared two top professional players.

Can anyone verify/dispute any of this?

How about verifying it yourself before posting it on a public forum. Even if one of the two you named is guilty, you just slandered the other one.

Nice overreaction.

Looks like he's just asking a question 'trying' to verify it.

A bit overly dramatic, no?

You guys didn't hear the new law? Yes, just asking whether someone did something or not is now slander. Good thing we had our lawyer friend here, so we don't make the same mistake in the future. The OP is in big trouble though. Don't drop the soap!

Ahem. As my name suggests, I'm a lawyer. Slander is spoken. This is "libel." The two constitute the tort of defamation.

And like pornography, there is no exact standard to measure it by per se. The issue is truthfulness (always a defense) and damages. Class dismissed. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
