In what possible way have you been libelled?  They haven't said anything
bad about you.

Takeaway Media produced a show, "Balderdash & Piffle," about antedating
words.  They asked
for help with a project they called "Wordhunt".  You didn't give them
any.
They didn't list you as helping when they put together the Wordhunt Hall
of Fame.

To paraphrase Sgt. Hulka from that great movie, "Stripes", "Lighten up,
Barry!"
