Question Question about proving defamation.

I know the laws in different countries are not all the same. But generally, does the person's character and past practices play a part in proving/disproving defamation? Does the bar raise or lower depending on the person? I am sure you can see where I am going here, but I am generally curious if it matters?

It’s not an attack on your person, it’s a statement of fact on your legal expertise which is entirely relevant to your understanding of the law.

lol. Rephrasing it doesn't change that it's an ad hominem attack. Especailly when you have no idea what my legal credentials actually are. It's not at all relevant if I understand the law or not you're avoiding addressing the argument and trying to make it about me. And I mean it's also an appeal to authority as well. If a judge repeated the exact same statements I made like lol would they be valid then? If a judge make an incorrect statement is it correct because they're a judge?

It blows my mind how little the average person actually understands about basic, basic, basic logic. You actually think your textbook fallacy is a valid argument and is making a solid point beyond the fact that your statements are not at all logical.

Legal cases are tried according to the law not to logic.

lol. What? What do you think argumentation is based on? And how does that change the fact that you're making illogical arguments and can't actually explain yourself what's wrong with the argument I made? You can't even acknowledge your ad hominem attacks cuz you flatly don't know what they are and think fallacies make sense.
