Why are you slandering Doug Wilson?

The Cambridge Dictionary defines slander as “a false spoken statement about someone that damages their reputation, or the making of such a statement.”1 The operative word being false. True statements, particularly those simply repeating a person’s own words, are not slander and even a discussion of those words is not slander. We are seeking to interact biblically with direct quotes from Doug Wilson — words that he fully intended to be heard by everyone and therefore open for discussion and critique. So, we are not slandering Doug Wilson.
