defamation or not?

I googled a person I was friends with online and found their phone number and address. I thought that was pretty cool and gave them a call. They didn't pick up the phone, and I left a message. They got mad at me and called me bad names at a gaming website. I apologized to them for calling them. This person kept talking about me when I was not at the gaming site and gossiping about me. I got upset at them and used their name and phone number as a screen name. About a year later, they were still talking about me at this site and gossiping again. This time I used a screen name with no phone numbers and just a name similar to their real name. They said they talked to a lawyer and that their lawyer says they have a case against me. Is this true?

A case for what? What are this persons damages? I think hes blowing smoke up your rear. However if an effort to both act adult and avoid trouble just remove the name and stop the childish games

Agreed. Sue for what? Everyone says they spoke to their lawyer. Did their lawyer tell them that for $500 an hour that he'd be glad to start a case?
