Why don't you pause to lookup up "defamation" in an English dictionary?
Now what you've used the word several times, it is high time to formally
introduce yourself to its definition.

Defamation means that someone utters or writes something false about you which
damages your public reputation. (Uttered defamation is "slander" and written
defamation is "libel".)

Defamation would occur if someone announces that, for instance, he has seen you
steal something from a store. Some members of the public believe it, and so
your reputation is tarnished.  The announcement only defamation if it isn't true.

"You're an idiot" isn't defamation; it's clearly just an opinion.  Such an
opinion can be a justified, evidence-based comment on someone's recent
output in a network forum.
