Ark in this case,has been called a "quack" by Gage."Quack" is a term used for a person who pretends,professionally or publicly,to have skill,knowledge,or qualifications he or she does not possess.This is considered slander,as it is an oral defamation.Classic forms of slander per se where the damages will be presumed are statements that a person has a "loathsome" disease,has committed a serious crime,is professionally incompetent or guilty of professional improprieties,or is guilty of serious sexual misconduct.
