text: Tell yourself anything.  Your initial observations consisted of an attempted 'disconnect' between what I criticized and what I WAS criticizing in order to place my criticisms in a 'rhetorical vacuum' where you'd be free to shriek and flail about the TONE of my criticisms; combined with an anti-Muslim stereotype as a 'parting shot'.

  But the strategy of holding someone accountable for the damage they inflict on others is as old as human society.  Clearly damage can be inflicted by WORDS.  Example: at the beginning of the tuna processing industry those marketing this new product promulgated a deceptive ad stating that tuna didn't turn pink in the can like salmon did.  EXTREMELY damaging to salmon canneries at the time, as customers who never thought twice about salmon's color were led to believe there was something wrong with it on the basis of a single (implied) lie.
  
  Dumbitchski's "implied lie" is called SLANDER.  It's actionable.
