When I browsed Encyclopedia Dramatica I noticed content that appears to be libelous therefore is it a place where libel is tolerated?
No. Criminal libel, and slander, is not lawful and not tolerated (certainly not by those libeled). The publication you refer to, and the content you believe may be libelous, has quite likely already met the test of lawfulness.added: Encyclopedia Dramatica is not a real encyclopedia, rather a website devoted to satire. However, the majority of the articles satirizing actual people are done strictly as to persecute the subject, usually because the original author holds a grudge against the person being satirized. The owners of the website do not care what is said, as long as an attempt at humor is made. Any attempts to get articles removed are met with derision and scorn, since the owners actually encourage libelous behavior. The content of Encyclopedia Dramatica has not met the test of lawfulness. It's lawfulness hasn't been tested at all.See Discussion Page:
