Not really, Mr. Godin.
In the case of a comment, the question is not whether the comment is true or false. When it comes to a comment, legally, what we are asking is whether it is fair and acceptable under the circumstances.
If it is a question of facts, are the stated facts true of false? But are we talking about facts or comments? That is an important question the committee has to ask itself. Are we talking about a comment or a statement of fact? The legal measures are different. It is up to the committee to consider these questions.
