Like Steven said ED is in it for the lulz. So please don't feed the trolls
(I know a few editors from en:wp that are on ED).
In terms of legal standing, US has much less plaintiff-friendly Defamation
laws than most European Countries, and most differ widely from state to
state. I don't think you would have an easy case in any jurisdiction.
Think of it along the lines Celebrity blogs, Probably congratulate those who
have their own page on ED.
LULZ abound.

They will probably always write these attack pages/satire/whatever term
you
prefer. We're mostly pretty odd folk, so
it's easy to make fun. But
giving
them attention of any kind is what they want
most, since it gives them an
opportunity for more mischief (and thus more lulz).
In other words, don't feed.
Unless they are exposing sensitive and private information (facts)
about you or someone you know.
