Slander is defined as "a malicious, false, and defamatory statement."
By your very own words above, you stated "he is asking"... Asking is not
a statement.  Therefore, it cannot be called slanderous.  End of
discussion there by your own admission.

Then do it.  If you agree that it has gone off track, ignore those items
and focus directly on the technical merits discussion.  It is humanly
possible to ignore.  You, and everyone else, has the power to change the
direction of a thread.  So do it.  Don't argue about it, just do it.  I
think you will gain more respect and attention from others who are
currently just lurking if you do that.  Most readers of this thread are
not commenting because to do so is to join into this nonsensical
degradation of insane flaming.  

If you are unable to and feel there is a legitimate legal violation,
feel free to ask your lawyers to step into the matter and enforce your
rights as copyright holder.  This is not the list for discussion of such
topics.  No one on this list is even authorized to approve/disapprove on
legal matters.    Continuing that line of thread is a waste of even your
time.
