Defences to claims of defamation include:

• Truth is an absolute defence for any claims of defamation.
• Privilege is a defence when witness testimony, attorneys' arguments, and judges' decisions, rulings, and statements made in court, or statements by legislators on the floor of the legislature, are the cause for the claim. These statements are said to be privileged and cannot be cause for a defamation claim.
• Opinion is a defence is recognized in nearly every jurisdiction. If the person makes a statement of opinion rather than a statement of fact, defamation claims usually cannot be brought because opinions are inherently not falsifiable. Some jurisdictions have eliminated the distinction between fact and opinion, and allow any statements suggesting a factual basis to support a defamation claim.
• Fair comment on a matter of public interest, statements made with an honest belief in their truth on a matter of public interest (official acts) are defenses to a defamation claim, even if such arguments are logically unsound; if a reasonable person could "honestly entertain" such an opinion, the statement is protected.
• Consent is an uncommon defence and makes the claim that the claimant consented to the dissemination of the statement.
• Innocent dissemination is defence in some cases. Defendants are not liable for innocently disseminating defamatory statements–in situations where the defendant had no actual knowledge of defamation and/or no reason to believe the statement was defamatory (and if negligence did not cause the defendants' lack of knowledge). The United States Postal Service, for example, cannot be liable for delivering a defamatory letter (although they would likely claim sovereign immunity anyway).
• Claimant is incapable of further defamation–e.g., the claimants' position in the community is so poor that even if the statement was defamatory there can be not actual damage to the plaintiff, failing the fourth requirement for a justified libel claim. These claimants' are "libel-proof."

I'll let you guess which strategy of defence I reccomend for Damuna

Personally I don't care. I may be a dirty pervert, but I take incredible offense to that.

EDIT for the more (emotionally) sensitive among us.

You know what, **** all three of you.

You can't SAY that on here!

*shakes my head* Frankly, I don't give a damn. I'm done here.

I feel obligated to apoligize, but since you've repeatedly said you had me on ignore, I figure you wont hear anyway.

Cant you see it was in good humor? Bah.

Lumping me with rapists is not in "good humor". I may be a pervert, and I may say whatever comes to mind, and yes, I have dated girls under 18 when I was 18 and above. However, I have never forced myself on anyone, nor manipulated anyone into a sexual situation. I have never even taken advantage of a drunk girl like so many males do. That is a horrible attempt at a joke and an obscene insult and I won't take it.

OK sorry for the remarks, I didn't know you were that serious in your first remark.

I said nothing to that end, thankyouverymuch.

And, as Lestat said, your remark didnt seem like you were very serious.

I think the reference that he is a sexual predator was one of the things to set it off (if that's not the case just say so). That term specifically implies a sex offender to most people ([url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_predator"]Wiki article[/url]).
[quote="Wiki]sexual predator is used pejoratively about a person who is seen as obtaining or trying to obtain sexual intercourse in a metaphorically predatory manner. Analogous to how a predator hunts down its prey"]

Now I doubt you meant it in that way, in fact when I first read it I took it similarly to a sexual deviant. But am I the only one that has seen tempers flying around a lot lately (including myself in the DaVinci thread)?
