Christ this guy is an asshole.

Also, it's time to teach him a new English word-libel. Since that's what he's wrongly accusing everyone of.

No, that one would be me. We have only one word for slander and libel in Russian, which is "клевета". I often tend to forget about that and use the more commonly used one.

That sentence is generally hard to translate because he's using heavy slang. The exact word he uses is "вброс", which translates roughly to "toss in". However, the implication behind the use of this word is that of a false rumor or a lie meant to discredit its target. Its specific tone is considerably more dismissive than just calling someone a liar and actually more or less implies that the source of information is completely unreliable or not worth listening to.

EDIT: And then LJ went and ate my first comment for ten minutes. Ah well, at least this gave me a reason to explain that part of the translation more thoroughly.
