I am not a lawyer, and I am sure that American and Canadian law differ in
the details, but surely you agree that it is morally wrong to publish
incorrect statements about people which damage or ruin their reputations?
This is my point, that before you (or whoever posted the original comment)
start creating a "list of full names, along with email addresses and URLs"
in a public "bad traders alert", that you had better be correct about your
facts.   In this particular case, you might be surprised to find out just
how wrong you are.
