Super Essay: Assignment #1


Many varied opinions on the trash-talking blogger; more than I expected. This particular response was clear and to the point: Good job everyone!

"My opinion on the issue is that the woman was wrong for slandering the model in the way that she did. She may have sent the comments anonymously, but she still sent them.
The model is in her rights to sue for Defamation of Character because that's exactly what the blogger did: she made up lies and rude comments that she didn't know were true or not.
The woman blogger does have the right to speech, but when your right to speech impedes on someone else's rights, then you have to be punished for that. The comments that were written were there for the masses to see and access. This could potentially be dangerous for the model.
First amendment rights only count when no one else is being negatively affected."
