    Yes. Libel. In civil court, you can be sued for damages on: libel, slander (possibly, as vocalization of the claim would have been made to assert the written aspect) and defamation of character. It's not criminal, but civil courts typically lean towards the victim.

    I assume you mean defamation of character - ?

    You are confusing what is illegal - against the law - and the grounds upon which you can sue. I know of no law that states slander/defamation are illegal by law under the circumstances which have been posted.

    Kind of correct. Those actions are illegal under tort law, but not criminal law. Tort law or civil law is bound to damages and fiscal penalties, rather than in carceration.

    <-- law student. :D

    Answered a dozen times that you can be sued in court if you do this.
    I know this is not the answer you want, but getting revenge will normally back fire on you. Doing this, you could expect similar ones put up by them next.

    Grow up and move on with life.
