It was Mike Digdon's opinion that I committed extortion and blackmail.
I did not;, therefore his opinion is libel because he published it on 
the 'net. When spoken it is slander. A woman on a mailing list whose
good intention was to be supportive of me in her post stated among
other things (not derogatory things) thinking that I am a lesbian,
without me saying so, stated that I am a lesbian. That is a libelous
statement whether or not I am a lesbian. Tho' I don't agree that it 
should be libelous, unless such is said to ridicule, defame, etc., it 
is according to the law a libelous statement.

I suggest that you talk to that "well known probably the best civil
suit lawyer in the Province" who you say is your lawyer (g). You are
either uninformed or misinformed. Do a DejaNews search for my posts
on defamation, libel or do a 'net search for other information. Any
statements that expose one to hatred, ridicule or contempt, or cause
one to be shunned or avoided can be labeled defamatory. Defamatory libel
may also be a crime when malice is present. There are four types of
slander/libel which are actionable without proof of damage. The words are
said to be actionable per se (by themselves). These four types are:

1. When one casts slurs on the sexual habits of a woman.
2. When one imputes incompetency in the business or profession of another.
3. When a crime punishable by imprisonment is falsely said to have been
   committed.
4. When one publishes the story that another person has a contagious or
   infectious disease.

I've been libeled in here in all four categories. Recently someone made a
post about me having an STD, tho' the word wasn't spelled correctly most
people would know what the author meant.

:>You have made slurs on my sexuality. That is a type of libel that is
:>actionable per se.

: Unless invited.

How does one do that? "I'm asking you to make slurs on my sexual habits".
I didn't ask you or anyone else to do that and I don't know any other
woman who has.

> And I suggest that you stop doing it. If you disagree with my views,
> present an argument against them.

: First, there has to be arguable points. But I do disagree with most
: (not all) of what you say. I definitely abhor your actions against
: people. And I don't have to repeat myself on that.

My posts are full of many issue, arguable points and some posters argue
them without attacking or libeling me. Quinn, Thomas Cantine, etc.
I definitely abhor your actions against people, including your comments
about African (blacks) having stopped in the evolution process, that
blacks act as stupid as they always have and can't take care of themselves
most of the time; your derogatory comments about menopause, single
mothers, divorced women; using the physical characteristics of people to
ridicule both women and men; using salary and welfare to ridicule people;
and on and on.

:>If you don't like me, if you think I am disgusting, that my views are
:>disgusting, I couldn't care less.

: I dislike the way you attack men. You are the creator of a problem
: much deeper then you can even imagine. I dislike the way you attack
: other women that do not agree with your biased opinions. That is the
: part of Barbara Amero I detest. As stated before you do have good
: points I'm sure, but you keep beating the hell out of yourself.

I dislike the way you attack women - their appearance; bodily functions;
educational, financial, marital status, etc.

No I am not the creator of the problem.

>But I do care when you post bogus analyses of me and my ex-husband, keep
>posting false information about me, keep posting that you know more about
>me than what I think, posting that you know what I look like, etc. Stop it!

: I have already explained this, so put it to rest.

You have not explained why you did it. You continue to do it. Stop it!
