I think it would be a huge stretch to argue that you could ever be held legally responsible for causing emotional damage by your posting interactions with anyone on an anonymous chat line. If the bar were that low, we wouldn't have enough courts to handle the volume.

Remember the lady who won millions because she spilled her hot McDonald's coffee in her lap? I would not so cavalierly dismiss the potential emotional distress claim.
