Isn't the fight started with the slander, not with its rebuttal?

If they don't, they don't. It's whatever in the end, at least from my pov. The point of the comm is primarily for venting and establishing the truth of a matter.
Informing the slanderers in question would be a nice option to have for those of us who want it, but not really core to the idea of the comm.
I mean, I thought the whole point of the comic was that it's an extremely common urge, just expressed in a stark way that highlights that we, as human beings, are silly animals with space-age technology.
At the same time, this comm isn't so much for people being wrong on the internet - you could say that most comms with any amount of controversy center around people quarreling over others being wrong on the internet. This is, specifically, for recording and disproving people slandering other users. "John believes in Flat Earth Theory" doesn't belong here unless John provably doesn't believe in Flat Earth Theory - in which case it's probably not the accuser bringing the issue, but the falsely accused, who then has something to easily and publicly refer to to dispute the slander going forward.
