Maybe not so much legally, but in any other way it might not work so well. It only takes someone to summarise the course of events as "Inman incites mob to exact revenge on audacious lawyer", and suddenly Carreon is the victim.
Of course, the mob's lust for blood achieves nothing but self preservation, and even if the claims are baseless, we're observing each day the consequences of its actions; mostly in the form of Carreon building up his case with ostensibly supportive evidence, and dragging other websites into the fray who had no involvement except to allow people to comment.
But, I dunno, I'm not the greatest advocate of internet vigilantism.
