Who on here has based their opinion of you on an accusation? I'm not aware of a single person.

But doesn't slander have to cause personal or professional harm? While the accusations or statements may or may not be based in falsehood (generalizing) don't you have to be able to prove harm in order for it to be legal slander?

Quite a few have made comments based on jls postings. Going back when all the bulkshyt FIRST started. She said "pm did this this and that" and next thing 15 posters were talking shyt about me. Absolutely. FACT. And it's hysterical. Here YOU are.. AGAIN, questioning it. You know SHYT. That simple. You should base your opinions on your interactions, DIRECTLY WITH ME. As such, u should have no negative opinion of me. Even though you've been a total bytch bc of jl, when you NEEDED something from me? I was nothing but nice and helpful to u. FACT. Just sayin

I only read this one article about this. I would view it more of a 'bullying' issue than slander or anything else. He was not charged in a criminal court but in civil court. The civil court found him in contempt.
He was found in contempt and jail time has been ordered but as with other cases there can be a way to avoid jail time. He vented on the social network so an apology on the same site can be seen as appropriate.
He was not on an annon board and most likely everyone knew who he was talking about and even though his ex was not a friend of his they most likely have mutual friends. Vent one on one to others who won't be in contact with his ex.

No one can say anything they want at anytime. There ARE limits and when you have been found guilty of harrassing someone yes your 'freedom' is limited. Just as when you break a law your physical freedom may be limited.
He does NOT have to give the apology he can spend the time in jail. I have heard of community service being an option for some, wouldn't that be limiting what someone can do? It was not do the apology or you will go to jail, it was go to jail but you can do an apology instead. Yes there IS a difference. Just as someone who was found guilty of something and given jail time but can do community service instead.

I understand what the options were...
I think the judge was wrong and it will be overturned...

What was wrong of the Judge, finding the guy in contempt of court or giving him an option of an apology instead of going to jail?

How did he slander her?
---> OBVIOUSLY you didn't read his apology:
"The reason I saw (my son) only one time during the four month period which ended about the time of my Facebook posting was because I chose to see him on only that single occasion during that period. I hereby apologize to Elizabeth for casting her in an unfavorable light by suggesting that she withheld (my son) from me or that she in any manner prevented me from seeing (my son) during that period. That decision was mine and mine alone. I further apologize to all my Facebook Friends for attempting to mislead them into thinking that Elizabeth was in any manner preventing me from spending time with (my son), which caused several of my Facebook Friends to respond with angry, venomous, and inflammatory comments of their own."

---> While the First Amendment gives you the right to express your opinion...as exemplified by WBC, you do NOT have the right to tell lies when doing so.
