To the lawyers and others here who may know, can someone be successfully sued for defammatory or derogatory comments made on an Internet forum? IP addresses can be traced. What if the site owner refuses to ID the offending poster? Can actions still succeed? What about the site? Can the owner be sued successfully for allowing this? What if the action being talked about was admitted by the offender but charges were dropped for some reason? I can't divulge the case but if one of the lawyers wants to PM me I may reveal specific details.
