Mate, defamation is about lowering a persons public professional reputation to their colleagues so much that it affects their ability to find work. If I were to write a letter to the editor stating that baz lurhmann fiddled with kids (assuming the newspaper was even dumb enough to post it) and it turned out to be incorrect, both the newspaper and I would be liable, since it could be argued that such a lie could harm a famous persons ability to continue to work in their chosen profession.

Now explain to me how that fits with an anonymous person writing under a fake name (no one outside this tiny forum would be even be aware of) being read by other anonymous people who also post under fake made up names. So please explain to me BWs professional rep that is being tarnished here. Does he sell tours to sex tourists ? Or offer a tour bus to brothels ? Your point is useless. No lawyer would touch it. They wouldnt waste their time with such a frivolous case.

Defamation cases usually only go ahead if the person is widely famous, yknow, like a hollywood director.

I dont really care about this. I dont have a dog in this fight, but as someone who has retained a lawyer from time to time, I know what I have written is right.
