People can sue for anything, that doesn't mean they have a legitimate case. That's a very important distinction.

You are incorrect, a lot of opinion is stated on this site. Whenever a member describes an airline employee as "rude", for example, that is simply their opinion which they are completely entitled to and at liberty to express.

Correct, so let us not generalize and state that people can sue (and insinuate they'd actually have a case) for simply having their names posted on the Internet. That is simply not the case. For them to even a have a chance at a legitimate case, the seemingly-factual statement being made about them would have to be completely false, a crucial detail Leatherboy2006 omitted for some reason.
In other words, as long as people are simply stating their opinions and being factual, they are completely safe in exercising their freedom of speech on this site or any other site.
