Or, because, this is not a blog by an individual owner, but rather a public forum, is all fair game?
And must the facts be false to be considered "libel" or is that not always the case?

General rule, no public forum does not exempt per se.

Griff had to go do "lawyer stuff." I'm the scruffy character that hangs around his office looking for scoops and "side jobs." Let's go across the street and I'll let you buy me a sandwich and a drink. Diet Coke is fine...
Thanks. Now, concerning your questions about...
The Case of the Sheepskinned Sheep!
a Quinn Martin Production.
See here, nothing libelous has been said. The most damning information concerns the players who sell these fake degrees - and that information was from the public records available from local courts and police agencies.
The "Apostolic" preachers who have been named have only been accused of flaunting fake credentials calling themselves "Doctors" and "Ph.D.'s" and stuff. The evidence that these degrees are fake has been provided by these preachers themselves when they have named the degree granting "institutions."
Basically, these guys cheated. They bought phony degrees to stuff their shirts with and one of their associates (who was named as having purchased a phony degree himself in an investigation done by a major newspaper) flew off the handle and made some threats over the phone with a bunch of the guys that hang out at the Juice Bar on the corner.
The whole thing smacks of my Bible College days when a bunch of the boys got hoodwinked by a criminal organization into serving as mules for stolen vehicles. Why is it that these things keep happening to us? Is it because we keep wanting to take the short-cuts in life? Is it because we lack faith in God? Dunno.
Thanks for the sandwich. Gotta go. Griff's gonna want his hat back.
