Being Libeled by Internet Marketers

I make my living using the Internet as my only source of income.  In a recent debate inside of a niche that I was considering returning to people have decided to take pop shots at me and claiming that I have issued lies at on one of my blogs dealing with the Downline Integrity Brigade.  I have offered those individuals the opportunity to issue a retraction and they have not done so at this point.

Many times in the heat of passion we all make statements that we wish would not of made and that is the only reason I have offered them the opportunity to retract their statements, although that is not a requirement because they are not a news source.

Many times people forget what is published on the internet is recorded and precautions need to be taken to make sure you do not open yourself up to a lawsuit for libel and defamation of character.  It is a fine line to walk but calling someone a liar or implying that someone is lying without first had knowledge is the definition of libel when you put it in print.

On a personal opinion if you are considering getting into the world wide web as a portal to earn income I would shy away from any program that implies that they are a member of the Downline Integrity Brigade.
