> I haven't repeatedly (or at all) defamed anyone. While I don't recall reading the original posts, you've backquoted text you wrote yourself in which you cast aspersions upon others, which is defamation. Speculating that someone lacks experience or that what he has written is "nonsense" falls into this category. > And I also would like to initiate a formal complaint. Formal complaints of defamation generally must be based on clear evidence of damages. Unless you've lost a job or someone has slashed your tires or something because of posts on this list, a "formal complaint" really doesn't serve any purpose. I suggest that everyone here be a lot less sensitive, and try a lot harder to stick to the discussion, minus the personal attacks. It's easy enough to say "I don't agree with you" without adding "because I think you're stupid."
