Santa Barbara, CA......My former roommate, for 5 months while I lived there with him was very verbally abusive to me regarding my weight, and the fact that I was a parolee. When I moved, we had a few words and he pasted a note on the door of my new apartment calling me all kinds of names, such as fat face, etc. He said I was a breed of parolrees from the joint and not to blame him for my ****ed up life, etc. Can I sue in small claims court for defimation of character????

You can sue but your case will be thrown out.
Just forget about this ex-roomie and move on with your life.
