   @charlie_root @Humpleupagus I dunno, most of my boomer con relatives have enough sense to not accuse a nurse who diagnosed their baby as malnourished of being a sex trafficker.
   
   That seems especially retarded. Even by their standards. Like Dale Gribble is more discreet in the early seasons of KotH.

     I question whether that's even defamation. My position on defamation is the the false facts must not be so outlandish as to be laughable to a reasonable person.
     
     If I say Hillary Clinton is a reptilian. Is that defamation (all constitutional defenses / NYT v. Sullivan aside)?
     
     What if I say she murdered Cicero?
     
     What if I say she's unchaste, unfaithful, and has a venereal disease? 😏

     "Child trafficker" sounds like hyperbole to me.

     Only one of my examples is false. She didn't kill Cicero. Sue me. 🤤

     @Humpleupagus @charlie_root Less me questioning the legality of it and more me questioning the optics of it.
     
     It has the same energy as Ethan Ralph telling Sargon he was glad his wife had a miscarriage.
