Didn't you say you were going to sue if you didn't get your apology? It would seem that you laid down the gauntlet there, not him, when you protested over his postings. Isn't your standard warning to apologize and cover your legal costs or you're going to sue? I didn't see an apology. The next step after that was a claim from you that you needed the address to sue, and I pointed out that in America this is not the case, and further, even if you *thought* you had the right name, you'd STILL have to verify it through the ISP, so you would probably do that anyway. That's how most American libel cases are fought.
