Is this retarded? Yes. Is this blackmail? No. threatening to take legal action, while obviously bullshit is not illegal or blackmail.

Agreed 100%.

I think I was very clear to this user. He created a thread attempting to commit defamation against my name, which is a crime and against the law. I think theymos would probably agree.

Defamation is one of the most difficult crimes to prosecute. You have more chance of monkeys flying out of your ass than having an effective case for defamation. Your threats just make you look like a joke.

If this users real information is found, it is entirely possible and it would not be thrown out at all, plenty of evidence to make a slam dunk case.

I never threatened anyone, I told him I will sue him for defamation if his information is found, plain and simple, straight to the point. People get sued for defamation all the time and the cases 99% of the time win with any substantial evidence.

"To prevail in a defamation lawsuit, a plaintiff must prove that the defendant made a false and defamatory statement about the plaintiff that was communicated to a third party (Bitcointalk Thread)."

Definition of defamation: "the action of damaging the good reputation of someone; slander or libel."
