because it’s a character damaging statement that could potentially be viewed as libellous...and open to that been laid...and it’s a good thing that there is protection against that for all of us so that someone would have to prove their words and statement...it’s not giving an opinion or any type of debate or saying ‘in my opinion’ or ‘I think that’ or ‘read that’ or whatever... it’s stating that someone is a liar and actually lied and of course that would always have to be proven because it’s being written as fact in public...

I assume you are referring to a post of mine again. When someone asks why you think someone has told lies, you answer them with what you have heard and read, you don't always have to say 'I read that'..... I think they can work out for themselves that you weren't actually there personally to hear it with your own ears or see something with your own eyes.
You don't have to say 'In my opinion' either, it's obvious, or should be by now on a debate forum.
I think I am safe in the knowledge that I won't be arrested for libel.
