Lol, classic : D
Having double checked the posts, there's nothing he could use to bring a tortious defamation action, as under the case of Youssoupoff v Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (libel, as opposed to slander, as publishing to the web is considered a permanant form), in my opinion.
Considering the effect of inducing others to shun and aviod, since we don't know the real 'condom', no effect can be applied there, and fankly, we've all shunned and avoided him anyway ¦ D
Even if defamation per se could be shown, the affirmative defence of qualified privilage, as applied, for example, in Watts v Times Newspapers seems likely to apply, the individual making the statement having a duty to make the stateent, and the recipients having an interest in receiving it.
Also available would be the defence of fair comment (ie, a statement of opinion) (Silkin v Beaverbrook Newspapers Ltd).
Ah, not of any real interest to any of you guys, but it was a useful chance to flex my memory on my revision for tomorrow's exam : )

Sure, go ahead! Call your lawyers! I'm sure they'll be able to get a really big case against us. Why you'd want to do it I don't know because it's only worth suing the rich as the normal civilian doesn't have a large fortune you can steal.
Condom: Mummy! Mummy! Sum won cawled me a peterfile on a message bowd!
Lawyer: I am not your mother, and with a name like that and your claim to being 29 years old on a message board aimed at teenagers and young adults what do you expect?
Condom: I paiye yawr wages mummy!
Lawyer: I work for an independent firm. It's winning cases that pay my wages, now go back home to play on your "My first snooker table".
Condom: Sowie mom.
