Firstly he is posting anonymously, as am I. Unless his name is actually "conserving freedom", you can't argue libel because no person has been identified.

You are not truly anonymous on the internet. There are people here who know my name, for example, as well as non-FReepers who know that I post here under this screen name. I suspect that is the case with many of us. From the EFF =>

Secondly I called him a "Dope Pusher", i.e. someone who is pushing dope, and in a discussion forum can only mean advocating dope, which can be factually demonstrated by a perusal of his posts.

Oh dear. Good luck convincing a court with that argument.
