In all seriousness, written defamation is a tort if you can prove that the allegations about you are both factually false (not just "opinions I don't like" or "not the full story" - even the statement "X is a Nazi" might not be defamatory) and materially damaging. It doesn't sound like either of those is the case.
If this guy loses a $10M/year job over these posts, his lawyer may well go through them to see if they are defamatory.
