THIS IS GENA SPEAKING. Please note the ‘all caps’ as they exist so that there is no doubt as to whose words these are. As most of you know, my significant other and I are employed by a certain government entity; an entity which unfortunately sees an extremely high turnover rate. Consequently many of the people who find themselves on the other side of employment in this business often find themselves upset and attempt to blame their termination on a variety of factors to dissuade from their incompetence etc. Again THIS IS GENA SPEAKING. Earlier this evening a person who fits into the above category posted some very derogatory statements on Facebook in regard to my significant other. Statements which were untrue and which I personally took offense. Clearly this person does not know me. That is not his fault. He is obviously angry that he lost his job. Based on his disregard for libel laws as well as his grammar skills, I feel this is something he should get used to as I am certain it will not be the last he experiences it. That being said, I would like to encourage anyone who knows this individual to suggest he remove the posts in question. As he is unemployed I am certain he cannot afford a lawyer; which he will certainly need when I pursue a defamation suit, which I will do if he doesn’t remove these posts. Perhaps you should inform him that as far as defamation cases are concerned, conviction is much more likely where libel is concerned. (Libel means the statements are written, as opposed to slander which means the statements are spoken.) Once again, this is Gena speaking.
