1. A word about threats of libel, from someone who has been through the mill. If you have a lawyer who is prepared to work on a no-win-no-fee basis, an insurance company who is prepared to back them, you will almost always win against an ordinary person on twitter.
2. When I say "win", I mean you will be able to force a grovelling apology out of them with a metaphorical gun held to their head - in all likelihood drafted by your own lawyer - because the costs of defending a libel suit are excruciating, and beyond most people's means.
3. It is only because I am a Buddhist who literally had no fear of losing all my worldly goods, and by the grace of hundreds of people making donations, that I was able to succeed in defending against a spurious claim against me. Not everyone can do that.
