First of all, for all we know, he's anonymous and has strived to keep his anonymity. Going to curt over defamation would require him to forget about this.
There is no reason why such a case could not be sealed. Especially in a case where the question of personal safety is put into question. Are you implying that Vod may leak such personal information anyway to intimidate me against attempting to hold him accountable?
Aside of the fact that such a case would be largely inefective and any money put on attorneys by Quickseller would be wasted.
It is not my money. Any money I do not use (minus a certain stipulation) is to be returned to TF, so I am in a use it or loose it situation.
Regardless, as I mentioned previously, litigation is not something that I wish to pursue. It is only a last ditch effort to stop an injustice in the event that other avenues (eg having respectable people try to talk to him, try to get others to calm him down, ect) to have the damages caused by Vod's libel against me resolved.
