So someone goes to a community corkboard in an apartment building and writes "John Heybobarebob is gay" on the bathroom door. Then the owner of the apartment building sees the defamatory statement, takes down the message, and stores it in a closet with a bunch of other removed messages. Then a janitor goes into to the closet, takes the message, and creates photocopies which she proceeds to hand out to people.
You think the building owner can be sued?
I'm _certain_ the building owner can be sued.
The question is, can the plaintiff win? That's a completely different question... and since IANAL I wouldn't even try to guess.
