I appreciate that you don't want to keep arguing this, but the matter certainly is not "unsolved". Libel is a specific term with specific meaning, and you are using it to mean something different. There is no common vernacular usage of libel that means "unflattering statement/depiction".
Or to put it another way, you're the only person who thinks it's unsolved, everybody else understands the meaning of libel and how you're using the term incorrectly. If you truly don't want to argue this, you should just accept that and move on.
