So if you are going to call people names in a forum, protect yourself. Use "in my opinion"; "IMO"; "IMHO", etc. That may keep you from getting sued someday by an irate official or other potential famous person target of your ire. Of course, you can't defame other anonymous posters if they haven't identified themselves in a forum either because to defame someone other readers of the forum have to know their true identity.
