This is not a Court. One possible wrong that was committed was making unsupported charges of libel. If Irismeister is guilty of making unsupported claims of libel we need to look into what was said about him. So far, although there are some apologies and retractions there is evidence he was called a "Quack" and a "nutcase". In the context of a mudslinging exchange however.

Evidence is being collected at Wikipedia:Matter of Irismeister evidence. Anyone, including you, can add links to evidence at that page. Especially needed (in my opinion-ridiculous bending over backwards to be fair opinion) is any evidence that Theresa Knott actually did libel Irismeister (under any reasonable legal theory of libel). I would not want to convict Irismeister of making baseless legal threats if there is some basis.
WITHOUT PREJUDICE
Normally where there is an allegation of libel the onus would be upon the person making that allegation to show where this was done. What one person considers as libellous to his person, may not even be noticed by others.
