Testing boundaries
Defamation is very tricky.
Now, if I now would suggest that all of the Aussies are idiots, would that be defamation? Australian law does have a lot in common with British law. By that standard, should calling the island dwellers(*), west off of the continental European land, all a bunch of daft fuckers be considered defamatory? Or do I need to specify each single person and give each a label of "suck it" before it becomes defamatory?
Imagine a search engine finding this comment...or even the internet archive... Tricky business indeed.
