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?

---> Depends on what you mean by 'harm'. It's not always about money you know...you don't have to prove that you suffered financially to prove 'harm'.

---> As an example, ex-fiance started telling folks...family, friends, his co-workers, his ex-wife, even complete strangers...a bunch of lies about me to cover-up the fact that he was broke because he was spending his paycheck on meth. Let's see...I had a drug problem, I had a gambling problem, I was controlling, I was abusive, I was taking trips, he had to pay all the bills because I was spending my money on me, etc. Those folks responded with "angry, venomous, and inflammatory comments"...if I didn't receive the cut direct, I was treated very coldly. By the time the 'truth' came out...that HE was the one with a drug and gambling problem, that HE was the one being controlling and abusive, that I was the one paying all the bills...the damage was done.
