Can I get someone for Slander if they have posted it on the internet ? A woman put my FULL NAME as well as my husbands FULL NAME and said we were 'cyber bullies' . I don't even know what a cyber bully is!!!!!!!! This is in one of the Yahoo Groups.What is the name of your state? She posted that people should stay away from us. The reason she is doing this is ,she and her husband have 'broken up'. And we are friends with her husband , So I suppose that she is trying to ruin our reputation just because we are friends with her husband. Is there anything I can do?

When something is written it is called libel (slander is spoken).

It does not appear that you have any chance of bringing a successful defamation suit against this woman. It sounds like simple name-calling and nothing more. I would tell this person to knock it off and, if this is really annoying you, ask that the woman or Yahoo delete the offending material.
