I am not sure that creating burner accounts to libel people by name is an entirely appropriate use of this site no matter what your personal feelings are. You don't have any evidence to substantiate any of what you are writing and this individual has no opportunity to respond to what you are writing. This is highly unprofessional behavior no matter what you think the justification is.

It's not libel unless it's proven FALSE.

Statements from witness ARE evidence. What do you think evidence is?

The "individual" could create an account here and respond if he wanted to. It would be stupid, but he definitely has an opportunity.

And who told you anybody had to be professional on here?
