It would all depend on if you could prove that twitter account damaged to your rep and actually cost you money, which isn't going to happen. Either way, the damages amount would be very tiny... not enough to cover your own costs.

As well, I highly doubt you have the 10k to cover the lawyer each month. Being that you couldn't sue him in your region, you would have to take it to a place you both do business, money wise, so you can get the money if you win. Which will cost some money to find, and lawyers aren't cheap.

Then the $20k court filing cost (each time), and the probably 10+ trips you would have to make for discoveries alone. And the bond you would have to put up, equal to the amount you're suing for, just encase you lose - which any lawyer will ask for in a case like this.

I've gone through 3 lawsuits, biggest one costing us 3 million dollars. You're barking up a tree your retirement plan can't cover.
