If you said something that implies that you spoke it and that is slander.

It is libel for the written word.

So to answer your question if you posted something libellous about me on this forum my solicitor could get a court order to force the forum owner to reveal whatever details there are about you. One such detail would be your IP address so another court order could be obtained to force the ISP to reveal your name and address that you used when you first registered with the ISP. If you had changed addresses since then my solicitor could look in the current Electoral list to find out where you live now.

If you paid your ISP charges by Direct Debit, or Credit or Debit Card or even cheque further court orders would force the bank to reveal your present whereabouts. OK so you got a partner to make the payments. Then a court order could be obtained to force the partner to reveal your current address.
