Voluntary legal help / counsel needed. Anyone ?

You can post the contents of the letter. Confidential means nothing, while without prejudice simply means without prejudice to their position. Look at it this way, if a random member of the street posted a letter to you marked "confidential and without prejudice", would you have had qualms about putting it up for discussion? The fact that it is sent by a legal firm doesnt change the nature of the letter.

Deletion of posts is probably the request made in teh letter, failure to comply of which would lead to further legal action. So locking the post while allowing it to be viewed is not really an option if you fear legal action - it can also increase the quantumn of damages awarded in an actual court case. (length of time in which the defamtory material was disseminated, breadth of reach etc are all relevant factors)
