What is this, a contest for silly analogies? I can keep playing.
Let me also note (continuing earlier analogy) that if you knock
on my door to request entry, or send me a letter that you want
me to read, or ask for http://www.example.com/private.html, and
in all cases, I decline your requests, that is not libel.
Or, you knock on my door, and I explain "my astrologer recommended
that I not admit anybody wearing a red shirt" there's still no libel.
The latter is not really an analogy for the situation.
More like:
You knock on my door, and I explain "my astrologer recommended that I
not admit anybody that cross-dresses in their bedroom. And he says that
you cross-dress.".
Or "My astrologer recommended that I not admit anybody that lives on
the same block as somebody who cross-dresses in their bedroom. And
somebody on your block cross-dresses."
That's much less likely to be actionable libel, because it doesn't
identify you.
