I think you're confusing the Lugnet community with the LDraw community. Don't.

I would think removing it, when he's made it clear he still doesn't feel it was
wrong, would be insincere.

Do you actually know the definition of the word slander?
From www.dictionary.com:
+++
slan·der (slander)
n.
1.Law. Oral communication of false statements injurious to a person's
reputation.
2.A false and malicious statement or report about someone.
+++
I'm pretty sure that James Jessiman is, in fact, dead. To say that he is does
not constitute slander.

Yes, it's playing Devil's Advocate. It's an important thought excercise,
though. If it'll make it easier for you to think about, I could actually grab
it and throw it up, though.
How quickly will you then call for me to leave Lugnet as well?
