That company regularly sends out cease and desist letters. I know; I've had one.
I ignored it as they part of the company in question in based in the UAE, the website my comments were on is hosted in the UK and the law firm was US based. Their litigiousness is the reason why their name becomes this: *******

The same rules would apply regarding the distinction between opinion and fact. However, some of the language used might suggest malice, as would slagging off your competitors.
As to anonymity, I'm guessing here. But I would imagine if "the reasonable man" would know who you were talking about, then the veil of anonymity falls away. As to your anonymity, I would imagine that the courts have the power to find out who any one of us is, but only if BritishExpats.com is run by a company falling within the court's jurisdiction.

Use of proxy servers or VPNs can make this process even harder to carry out.

Shouldn't anyone who forwarded the email onward also be prosecuted? I obviously have no idea how ME 'justice' works, but it's interesting from a long long way away.

Jack still hasn't cottoned on that no matter how many time he refers to Chuck Hoover across different threads the guy is just the domain registrar and has nothing to do with BE. Has he been ignoring you Jack?

I am fully aware of that, and also the connections with Financial Services! - Why doesn't someone come clean? Who is the owner of the Website? - Does anyone know?
