First, you should learn how to spell libelous.

Second, you should go study until you grasp them,
the laws on libel, which are thoroughly framed to
protect free expression, and have very stringent
requirements for writing to be found libelous,
mostly intended to protect a free press, so that you
can stop spouting nonsense.

Raised by a lawyer, I'm rather well acquainted with
the gist of the law. With nitwits constantly
threatening me with charges of libel on Usenet, I've
extended that acquaintance by thorough research.

Writing which merely offends the person described is
not libel, most especially when that description is
based on best evidence.  Echoing your own admissions
back to you reworded is exactly such use of best
evidence and is in no farthest stretch of
interpretation of those laws, "libel".

Third, I suggest you acquaint yourself with the
laws regarding assault, which you have repeatedly
violated in this exchange.

Fourth, I suggest that at 60 or more years of age,
it is high time you bothered to become an adult
and to face your mistakes as events purely of your
own creation, without such outside assistance to
reach that realization as is being given you here.
