I'm really starting to think dueling needs to come back, because this casual slander as a tactic thing needs to start having real world consequences. Make these shits defend their fucking mouths at 10 paces is where this needs to go.
Either that or strengthen defamation law, make it easier to get damages, remove the exceptions for public figures, and add blood libel and guilt by association torts. The current situation can't stand.
And no I don't give a shit if that silences the media from speaking out about powerful figures. The media can get bent.
