Is it still libel if you don't name a particular person by his/her true name but instead one uses a nickname that alludes to a particular person but doesn't directly name them?
And for example what about an organization or a structure as a whole? For example rather than name a particular politician or even a particular party one might say something like 'Australian governments are all complete !!!!e and the corridors are filled with politicians who are as useless as a lump of camel !!!!e'. Is this still potentially a case of libel?

As for prune being a Californian entity I think that is very cool. It explains Tailwheels strong accent and southern tan !!!
