Paul ordered merchandise from Store.  When the merchandise was delivered, Paul decided that it was not what he had ordered and returned it for credit.  Store refused to credit Paul’s account, continued to bill him, and after 90 days turned the account over to Rocko, a bill collector, for collection.  Rocko called at Paul’s house at 7:00 pm on a summer evening while many of Paul’s neighbors were seated on their porches.  When Paul opened the door, Rocko, who was standing just outside the door, raised an electrically amplified bullhorn to his mouth.  In a voice that could be heard a block away, Rocko called Paul a “deadbeat” and asked him when he intended to pay his bill to Store.  Paul, greatly angered, slammed the door shut.  The door struck the bullhorn and jammed it into Rocko’s mouth.  As a result, Rocko lost some of his front teeth.  If Paul asserts a claim based on defamation against Rocko, will Paul prevail?
