Friends,
Another form of statements that constitute defamation is the type of statement that is not visible on its face, but harms another anyway, and requiers evidence to show the harm. This is called [per quod] defamation. For instance, someone could call another person a pig-eater. Now a pig-eater is not a defamatory phrase on its face, but if the person called that was an orthodox rabbi, that could cause injury to him.
