Slander is spoken, liable is written...

It would have done, if you hadn't mis-spelled "libel"
A possible reason why the "slanderous/libellous" thread was deleted - in the UK a few years ago, a libellous comment was made on a Demon Internet newsgroup. The person who was libelled contacted Demon, who refused to delete the comments in question. The person then sued Demon and won, even though Demon didn't make the libellous comment.
I don't know if the same has happened in the US, but with the American philosophy of "sue anything that moves erratically and might cause me to spill this hot cup of coffee on myself", perhaps Lensman was just playing safe..
