"However, posting up pictures of many men, with one of them clearly staring at the camera, and saying "he jokes about dongles" is wrong when the guy that is at the center of the photo and is staring at the camera is not the guy that joked about dongles." The tweet said "right behind me", which is the right guy according to you. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5434005 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5434005 https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/313417655879102464 https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/313417655879102464 Edit: I added "according to you" and link to comment since it was pointed out below that this might also be the wrong guy, which would make the comment even worse of course.

My statement came from this source: http://glpiggy.net/2013/03/20/identity-of-dongle-micro-aggressor-revealed http://glpiggy.net/2013/03/20/identity-of-dongle-micro-aggre... This source, much like the rest of the Internet, initially blamed Alex Reid, the man in the middle of the picture. Then this source decided that the guy to be blamed is the guy in the grey shirt. I made my comment following this source. Then someone else, somewhere (no clue what the original source of that statement is anymore, but you are right, there are certainly comments to that extent floating around, and your post had that comment as well until it was deleted), stated that the reason why the guy at fault was fired from PlayHaven was because he was wearing his company's t-shirt, and thus was publicly representing the company, which in some way makes sense. The only guy in that shirt that was wearing a PlayHaven t-shirt and not the guy in the middle is sitting way far out, and not "right behind her" by any definition of that phrase. My point is that someone who just saw that photo, without reading the extensive commentary around it, still thinks it's the man grinning at the camera - "right behind me" or not. Who is the right guy? I really thought it was the guy in the grey shirt, but even that is now under doubt.

  "This source, much like the rest of the Internet, initially blamed Alex Reid, the man in the middle of the picture." Are the statements of this source more or less defamatory than the original source? That is, in the original image+text it was (and remains) ambiguous about who made the sexual jokes. While this source specifically named one person, and then named another. If defamation is a relevant concept to this discussion, then you should be complaining most strongly about the defamation done by this source, no?
