I'm not quite sure what that was supposed to achieve. Oz did take the point.

"Slug" is robust language, but does not in my book constitute defamation.

I'm clearly not the form of life so described.

Anyway, read my reply elsewhere and reflect on the wisdom of taking notice.

I suggest that before making remarks that might be defamatory, check to see
how easily they can be disproved from Companies House. You would probably
not even need to pay. I expect the CLA have an internet account, access and
interpretation facilities.

It would be quite normal to make those available to their Cumbrian Chairman
when he is being warned against possible legal action.

They might be curious and might be inclined to take you to one side for some
good advice, but I would not be unhappy with that situation.

If I talked out-loud about what I heard, in the presence of others, to explain to her why she wasn't getting to use my phone, then that would have constituted "Criminal Defamation" on my part -- and in Canada, one is considered to commit criminal defamation even if what one is saying is completely true, with a different subsection of the relevant law providing for absolute discharges in some cases -- more or less a clause that means "We understand that in some cases you _have_ to defame someone to prevent a larger injustice, and we will forgive your defamation in those cases". ... Defamation does not, by the way, mean that you have lied about something in order to damage someone's reputation: in Canadian law it means that you said or wrote something that _did_ hurt someone's reputation, no matter how unearned that good reputation was; the forgiveness clauses are for when you are considered to have a good enough reason to justify it. ...
