I say bring it on. In the USA, truth is a defense in defamation cases.
If you tell the truth, you win.
And, the contested issues are presented to an impartial jury.
This is what the skeptics want, a real debate on the issues and presentation of the facts to an impartial jury !
We the public win and the truth tellers win.
This is great news.
