I’m glad Rebel (and Levant) lost. However, one of the court’s key findings has me curious.
It seems they are saying that Rebel/Levant failed to show specific tangible harm, as a result of the Al Jazeera statements. If that is the benchmark for our court system, I would think/hope that many or most allegations of racism/sexism/slander should fail. Many of them are very esoteric in nature, and fall back to “hurt feelings”. It seems, in this case, the court gives no gravity to hurt feelings – which is the right approach, in my view.
I dislike Rebel as much as the next guy, because Levant is pretty terribly annoying. Can a fellow be on one hand punishing others for free speech while attempting to defend his own and that of his friends?

Wait.

Oh, right. I remember the word now.
Hypocrite. That’s right.
