rrufff, you seem to like to set yourself as an arbiter, as if unless someone has convinced *you* of something it's just meaningless babble. Because you are doing this to a group of people who are discussing life experiences, not some theoretical research, that's just pompous.
But, because we know you thrive on self-importance, I'll give you an assignment and bow to your esteemed judgment on the issue. The question should be a simple one for you to prove or disprove. "Louie", and to some degree "Lucky", seem to amuse themselves with Googling legal documents that contain the names of people who post on this board. Your job is to find only *one* charge that has ever stuck, i.e. that via a jury verdict, judge decree, or settlement was ever determined or admitted. Please confine your research to things germaine to SI. If, perchance, you find someone was convicted of jaywalking or some other crime that would be construed as violating the SI Terms of Use, please refrain from posting it.
To make things even easier, here is a link to a press release detailing how Gary Dobry admitted to libel in a court of law. Therefore, would you deem it an accurate statement to say Gary Dobry is an admitted libeler?

It's very important to note that when someone is accused of a crime, legally, you can say someone is an accused whatever or that they were sued for whatever. However, to call some an accused whatever or say they were sued for whatever when said lawsuit was dismissed and the charges dropped is libelous, because, as you know, anyone can sue anyone for anything, so implying something has potential basis in fact when in fact it was proven otherwise in a court of law is libel.
