I'm not a lawyer, nor did I sleep in a Holiday Inn last night, but I
believe that you must prove you've been injured/damaged/whatever by the
libel in order to collect.

It would be an interesting twist - Juan's own attorney attempting to prove
that he has no credibilty, thus no damages.

It may be possible to have one's ISP cut off service to TOS violations in
such a case though.

I once said in a aviation mailing list that it was disreputable at best
to sell plans for a plane that had never flown. The person the comment
was directed at threatened me with a libel suit. My reply was F'off and
die. Funny thing, I never heard from his layer and I still think this
person is a scoundrel. You can speak your mind in public all you want
and unless malice is proven, it's going to be hard to shut anyone up...

Juan claims that Bob had gone bankrupt.

And FWIW, wouldn't claiming (without factual basis) that someone had
filed for bankruptcy be considered libel?

Here in the US, actual harm of some sort is an element
of the torts. In the UK there are several differences among
them the concept that a defamatory statement can be
so hideous as to be inherently harmful enough to warrant
legal action.

In answer to your last question Mark, YES it would if it had come from
anyone with an ounce of credibility. In this case though, it wouldn't
be worth trying to prove that anyone would believe anything that Jaun
said. It just wouldn't be worth the aggravation and I doubt seriously
if Jaun has anything worth going after. Besides, I have lived 60 years
without having to sue anyone or being sued by anyone and I intend to
continue the record.

Credibility - it's all about credibility.

Juan claims that Bob had gone bankrupt.

Bob calls him on it, telling him to provide a citation of any type.

Juan responds with his usual BS, proving once again (and again, and
again, and again) that he has zero credibility, that he cares not even
a little about looking like a spineless shill in a public forum.

I suppose the worst thing is that he thinks he's "scoring" when he
posts something like above. OTOH, it is kind of like watching a
well-deserved slow motion train wreck as he squirms under the pressure
of being entirely unable to back up anything he says.

And FWIW, wouldn't claiming (without factual basis) that someone had
filed for bankruptcy be considered libel?

and all I can do is whine. sigh"
