Libel applies to statements of fact, not opinion. If I had stated that you were an evil man who had raped women and wanted to defend your previous horrible acts, that might be libel. Stating that your statements seem inconsistent is a statement of opinion, not fact.
Libel (as with most torts) requires a proof of damages, you can't get nominal damages or declaratory judgment (i.e. you can't really sue just to prove I'm a really bad guy). What actual damage did my statement do, keeping in mind that hurt feelings aren't damages?
Funnily enough, your statement that I'm trolling can be read the same way, so I have an easy counterclaim. We'd both lose, of course, since neither of our claims meets the elements of liable, but...

I was actually attempting to be reasonable and conciliatory, but apparently that's unappealing to you. So, I'll simply request that you not threaten legal action which is wholly inapplicable in this case, it's pretty boring.
