Get a Lawyer that will take the case and is paid when you collect. There are thousands of them out there.

Have you ever looked into filing a lawsuit based on online activities ? It costs that much that it is often not worth it.

Tis a good one, but the lawyer fee is often ridiculous regardless of a no-win, no fee clause

Slander is verbal. Liable is written. So technically, it would be liable.

Assuming you both live in the states, serve him with papers to small claims court. You can hire someone relatively cheaply to serve the papers and he will be forced to show up to your court to defend himself or suffer a default judgement. Just keep the damages in teh small claims court range, typically 1k.

Therein lies a problem. He lives in Canada. The member of this site claims it is not him but a disgruntled ex user of his site. Whats interesting is that since this has begun, I've gotten rude AIM messages from random people and last night someone had the audacity to call my home. I think if this escalates, I will have to involve the authorities, at least for the telephone calls.

Yes, this can be defined as "stalking" - let the local cops know. Cyber-stalking is becoming more common.

I would also refrain from posting about the incident in areas that the offender and his buddies hang out in. To me, it's essentially egging him on for you to talk about him in a public forum. When somebody is doing something immature like this, if you aren't going to take legal action, the best thing to do is generally to ignore the person.

If you conduct yourself well, people will always know the lies about you aren't true. But, if you stoop to his level, people will do their best to escalate the matter because they love to watch a good fight.
