A question is almost never defamatory. I think that I already gave you a link to US Court rulings on this [see below]. However, you seem immune to information that you wish to ignore.
IMO, given Purism’s history as documented on these forums ( Estimate your Librem 5 refund 💸 ) of not providing timely refunds, violating the FTC Mail Order Rule, and/or honoring their refund policy, it is a good question.
[Edit: I think it was you, but I can’t find where we discussed this. The link I gave was here Question Mark Leaves Court Questioning Defamation Claim - Lexology which contained the following example which is even worse since what the judge dealt with was an defamatory assertion with a question mark tacked on.
“Were it not for the question mark at the end of the text, this would be an easy case,” the court said. “Woods phrased his tweet in an uncommon syntactical structure for a question in English by making what would otherwise be a declarative statement and placing a question mark at the end. Delete the question mark, and the reader is left with an unambiguous statement of fact: “So-called #Trump ‘Nazi’ is a #BernieSanders agitator/operative.”
But the question mark cannot be ignored, Judge Smith found. “The vast majority of courts to consider questions as potential defamatory statements have found them not to be assertions of fact,” he wrote. “Rather, a question indicates a defendant’s ‘lack of definitive knowledge about the issue’ and ‘invites the reader to consider’ various possibilities.”
