Most lawyers will tell you that defamation suits are almost impossible to win. Yes, it is easy to SAY someone defamed you, but proving actual damages, which is what a lawsuit is all about, is VERY difficult.

You may be right..however I would say any reasonable person (see juror) reading this thread would come to the conclusion that her reputation has been damaged, the posts were made with malice and intended to do her harm and that its reasonable to assume that she will lose income due to this as well..beyond the booble contest. I would also submit that the simple action of filing a suit could very well result in an out of court settlement well in excess of the 5k.
