Legal Question in Technology Law in Florida

I was recently threatened with a harassment lawsuit, because I was posting pictures and blogs on a public website. I never used the persons real name, just the name they had made up to use online. All of the information and pictures I used were obtained from public websites, and no "hacking" was ever involved. It is my understanding that as long as I don't threaten bodily harm on the person (which I didn't), or use their "real" name (which I didn't), that there isn't much they can do to me. Is this true?
