This dog ain’t gonna hunt. Proving malice aforethought - a requirement in successful libel prosecution - would be all but impossible, even if this involved an ordinary citizen.

Bloggers make it easier by showing clear intent to bring down their target. At least with newspapers, the editors and journalists don’t generally open their diatribes by calling the target a slut and declaring they’ve made it their mission to “get rid of that person”.
