VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Show your support by donating any amount. (Note: We are still technically a for-profit company, so your contribution is not tax-deductible.) PayPal Acct: Feedback:

Author: not the other poster, but your intense defensive response amused me
Subject: You are correct that Libel only covers false statement, as does Defamation of Character (which can technically be a separate charge, but is usually attached to slander and/or libel), and not opinions (which "the jeans are ugly" would be your opinion). However, you should also look up the definition of harassment.
