• “Hence, a willful injury for purposes of section 523(a)(6) is an injury that the debtor intended to cause or that the debtor knew was substantially certain to be the consequence of his acts.”
• “Ellerbee admitted that part of his motivation in publishing the statements was to strike back at Mills. He admitted that the statements made tended to injure Mills’ reputation. He willed injury upon Mills and he did so because, he says, the statements were true.”
