I have just finished reading the entire court decision in Batzel v.
Smith, 333 F.3d 1018 (9th Cir. 2003). It is an interesting and
relevant decision. Thank you very much for posting it.

However, the difference between this case and the email by Susan
Polgar accusing a rival candidate of being a child molester is that
the original email that Polgar forwarded was from an anonymous source.
Not only do we not know who wrote it, but it is entirely possible that
Polgar herself wrote it. Indeed, it is widely believed that the
"anonymous" postings that frequently appear on her blog stating "We
don't want no women or freeking foreigners here. Go back to where you
came from", were writen by Polgar herself.

Thus, Susan Polgar enjoys no immunity for accusing a rival candidate
for election of being a child molester.

By the way, the person she accused of being a child molester was not
me, Sam Sloan. It was another candidate.
