| - Libel is a false and malicious written statement which injures an individual's reputation.
- In law, defamation is the communication of a statement that makes an express or implied factual claim that may harm the reputation of an individual, business, group, government or nation. Most jurisdictions provide legal actions, civil and/or criminal, to punish various kinds of defamation. The common law origins of defamation lie in the torts of slander (harmful statement in a transitory form, especially speech) and libel (harmful statement in a fixed medium, especially writing but also a picture, sign, or electronic broadcast), each of which gives a common law right of action.
- Libel is easy to spot due to the distinctive, large black block surrounding it. The tell-tale sign looks something like this: "Nobody in particular burns crosses on the yards of African-Americans." This is a clear example of libel, evidenced by the aforementioned black block covering the text. This is an all-important feature. Statements such as "You fuck goats", when not surrounded by the black block, are not examples of libel, so get over it, goatfucker. Remember, libel is dangerous, possibly harmful, and could end up being very costly, even to crypto-Fascist Nazis like Rudyard Kipling.

| - In law, defamation is the communication of a statement that makes an express or implied factual claim that may harm the reputation of an individual, business, group, government or nation. Most jurisdictions provide legal actions, civil and/or criminal, to punish various kinds of defamation. The common law origins of defamation lie in the torts of slander (harmful statement in a transitory form, especially speech) and libel (harmful statement in a fixed medium, especially writing but also a picture, sign, or electronic broadcast), each of which gives a common law right of action. "Defamation" is the general term used internationally, and is used in this article where it is not necessary to distinguish between "slander" and "libel". Libel and slander both require publication. The fundamental distinction between libel and slander lies solely in the form in which the defamatory matter is published. If the offending material is published in some fleeting form, as by spoken words or sounds, sign language, gestures and the like, then this is slander. If it is published in more durable form, for example in written words, film, compact disc and the like, then it is considered libel.

- Libel is easy to spot due to the distinctive, large black block surrounding it. The tell-tale sign looks something like this: "Nobody in particular burns crosses on the yards of African-Americans." This is a clear example of libel, evidenced by the aforementioned black block covering the text. This is an all-important feature. Statements such as "You fuck goats", when not surrounded by the black block, are not examples of libel, so get over it, goatfucker. It is advised (by homosexual racists like Oscar Wilde), to avoid engaging in Libel. Lawsuits stemming from libel cases can be costly and involved, and could easily destroy the prostitution and illicit substance ring you run from your basement. Remember, libel is dangerous, possibly harmful, and could end up being very costly, even to crypto-Fascist Nazis like Rudyard Kipling.
