That's rather the poster's point: even if the claims are demonstrably false, it can be an enormous burden and risk to actually demonstrate that.

- bradleyland 14y agoYou nailed it. "Except for there is no law being broken here." Sounds very black & white, doesn't it? The thing is, it doesn't matter. The actual determination of whether or not you've broken the law occurs very late in civil proceedings. A judge doesn't rule on whether or not you've broken the law, a jury does. The judge can only rule that the claim made against you does or doesn't past certain "tests". I can assure you that if a lawyer digs deep enough, he will find some circumstance under which these tests will pass and you will end up sued.
