<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quicknight, post: 398751, member: 15118&quot;]I&#039;m not a lawyer so my opinion and comments are not gospel. That being said, he can sue you, and if he wins, he can force you to retract your statement and post an apology. He cannot sue for damages unless he can show that your statement cost him revenue in the way of lost clients, i.e. people stopped using his service because they read AND believed what you wrote. However, if he wins, he can ask for compensation for legal advice and representation. Likewise, you can sue for legal costs, but it is likely that a judge would completely dismiss the case or rule that you must post an apology and all legal cost are thrown out and to be paid by each party. Either way, it will cost you legal council. I would think it would be easier to reword, as many have suggested, and be done with the whole thing. A mentor once told me, ‘It’s all in the wording.’ And that holds true in this case as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
