To be perfectly honest, I can't even remember. I remember thinking at the time that it was Damning, something like calling him a charlatan but a lot worse. The fact that I'd have to search to refresh my memory could suggest a weakness in Malone's case. It didn't cause me, at least, to think less of him, and if I understand correctly, causing someone to think less of the plaintiff is one of the elements that is required to prove defamation. If Malone had not launched his lawsuit most people would not be aware or might have forgotten. On reflection, it could all end up backfiring on him.
I haven’t got a clue what they said that is so damning!
