I'm also not a lawyer, pleased to meet you.

> I sort of directionally think that if WPE had a strong case here, their opening bid wouldn't be a C&D

I believe, as a non lawyer, in some places to be able to sue for defamation you must first contact the defamer and demand they take it down.

I have no idea and no opinion if there is a case. If there is a case a C&D might be a necessary step.

Thank you for saying this. Trying to get this out there too. When people say "building a case", this is part of what they mean.

Creating a track record/evidence. Or the opportunity. My only practical experience is trying to get a restraining order. It's harder than you might think. Legal system demands work to work.
